What The Parts of An Axe Are Called

There's quite a bit of specialized language around axes. This video breaks down what the different parts of an axe are, and goes a little into explaining what their different functions are.
If you prefer pictures and words, I've got all this information in a blog post here: www.sylvaspoon.com/blog/2020/1/16/anatomy-of-an-axe

Thank you for sharing this video of the parts of the axe. By knowing the details and functions it encourages me to have a deeper respect of my axe and hatchet. Thank you for your clear presentation. Blessings

Great video - I've posted it to the greenwoodworking subreddit so people can learn their heels from their toes.
