The war axe was intended to kill, maim and dismember. It was an extremely efficient close range weapon. It was used in horse-to-horse, horse-to-ground and ground-to-ground warfare. It could be thrown at an enemy, with a risk of losing it. The war axe was useful also as a camp tool for chopping wood, pounding, and dismembering game.
