What is sheperds axe?

A shepherd's axe is a traditional tool used by shepherds for managing their flocks of sheep. It is a versatile tool that can be used for chopping wood, clearing brush, and even self-defense.

The head of a shepherd's axe typically has a curved blade, often with a single bevel, that is sharpened to a fine edge. The other end of the head may have a pointed or flat end, which is sometimes used for piercing or scraping.

The handle of a shepherd's axe is usually made from wood, with a length of around two feet, although this can vary depending on the individual user's preference. The handle is often carved with a grip for comfortable handling and may be decorated with carvings or other ornamentation.

Today, shepherd's axes are still used by traditional shepherds in some parts of the world, particularly in rural areas of the Mediterranean and Middle East. They are also used by outdoor enthusiasts and bushcrafters as a versatile and reliable tool for a range of tasks.
