Their axes were made of stone. When America was discovered, the ‘trade axes’ played a major role in trade with the natives. The axes were made by the Europeans, but were soon so frequently used by the Native Americans that they came to be one of their leading symbols under the name Tomahawk.Length with handle: 50 cm (19.5”)Weight: 0,5 kg (1 lb)
