Copper axe

A copper axe is a type of ancient tool made by shaping and forging copper into an axe head, used primarily during the early metalworking periods. It represents one of the first uses of metal for tools, replacing stone implements. Copper axes were valued for their durability and ability to be sharpened. They played a significant role in human technological development, enabling better woodworking and other tasks. While not as hard as later bronze or iron axes, copper axes mark an important step in the transition from stone to metal tools in human history.
