Used widely in the U.S.A. and Canada for felling etc. The advantages of the double blade are: one edge can be kept for lopping and topping, the other for "laying in" or felling proper; both edges can be ground and sharpened and used alternately to last all day; if the tool needs sharpening on the job, it can be stuck upright in a stump and honed easily. 2, record 1, English, - double%2Dbladed%20axe
