The hand axe is the oldest tool in human history.  It was the first to be used becasuse of the importance of the tasks it performed.  It chopped large pieces of flesh off the bones of large game harvested by early man.  The hand ax also broke open the hard bones of this game to allow man to get to the nutrient rich bone marrow.

The earliest hand axes were just stone with one or more sharp sides, thus, the term "hand axe".  About 6000 BC man started to attach a handle, hafting, to the head to increase its efficiency.  The axe and new improved hand axe were born.

The hand ax has been a tool of utmost importance through out  history and significantly improved man's ability to survive.  The look, feel, and materials of the modern hand axe are far different than in ages past, but the tasks it performs and the importance it has remain.

You buy a hand axe to use and generally use hard, often times in remote locations.   Quality, reliability and design for the task at hand are essential characteristics.   A handaxe with these characteristics is produced by a company renowned within their industry and generally well-known by their users.

The best hand axe will be “hand forged”.  Today's best "drop forged" hand axe will come very close if not equal a "hand forged"  one.  Each manufacturer will then temper their handaxe based on use such as tomahawk, battle axe, camping axe, etc.

The hand axe should be a fusion of function and beauty.  Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and will be influenced by the intended use and the conditions which it will be subjected to.  A handaxe for backpacking needs to be perfectly balanced and lightweight with an edge that easily clears brush from the trail/campsite or splits logs into kindling for the campfire.  A camping axe is more likely to be transported by car or boat thus reducing the importance of weight but not negating the other characteristics.
