How does this ax work?
We’ve played enough video games to know that this isn’t an ax. Axes usually have one sharp side and a blunt side that you can use as a hammer. Or we might be thinking of a hatchet. What’s the difference again? They’re both used to chop lumber, right?
It turns out that this is an ax, but not the lumber-chopping variety. This is a crash ax that aircraft crew members use to break windows during emergencies. How this ax found its way into the OP’s husband’s tool collection, nobody will ever know. Hopefully, the OP’s husband isn’t breaking any laws by taking this out of an aircraft.
