Abstract:
1. An axe comprising: a blade head, having a first side and a second side connected with a cutting edge at one end, and a handle, wherein a center of gravity of the axe is located at a distance from the cutting edge and lies in a center-of-gravity plane of the axe located at a distance from a blade plane of the axe parallel to both the center-of-gravity plane and a normal-working-motion plane of the axe, the cutting edge and the center of gravity are arranged to cooperate when the blade hits wood and the cutting edge partly penetrates into the wood such that at least some of an impact force of the blade head is converted into a rotational motion and a motion of the blade head in a curvilinear trajectory, the first side of the blade head is attached to the handle so that the handle is unencircled by the blade head, and the blade head is made of flat bar steel; wherein on a side of the blade plane on which the center of gravity of the axe lies, the axe has a first stop element arranged to hit the wood during the rotational motion of the blade head and the motion of the blade head in a curvilinear trajectory, and the first stop element is disposed at the free end of the blade head opposite the cutting edge.
