Single Bit Ax
The single bit axe is a more common ax and offers a number advantages. Its design is optimal to that all the torque (rotational power caused by swinging around a pivot point- the shoulder) behind the one bit it possesses. The poll is hardened in some axes (notably Wetterlings) and can therefore be used for hammering. A single bit axe can also be batoned and, when combined with hard wood wedges, even a small hatchet can split an entire hardwood tree when in the hands of a skilled user.
Double Bit Ax
A double bit axe offers various advantages. It is usually symmetrical around a center line. This offers balance you will not find in a single bit axe. While it can’t be batoned.
