felling axe

Lumberjack's chopping tool

A felling axe is a long-handled axe designed specifically for cutting down standing trees.

The head is heavier than a hatchet's, with a thin, sharp blade angled for deep cuts into wood grain.

The long handle provides leverage for powerful swings: He grabbed the felling axe and walked toward the marked timber.
