Handaxe

A handaxe is an ancient, multi-purpose stone tool used by early humans. It features a roughly oval or teardrop shape, with a sharp edge created by chipping away flint or similar material. Handaxes served various functions, such as cutting, chopping, digging, and processing food or materials. They are some of the earliest and most versatile tools in human history, dating back over a million years. Their design reflects careful craftsmanship, and they were primarily controlled and held by hand during use, hence the name "handaxe."
