What does the Ancient Egyptian battle axe look like?
The Egyptians had two types of battle-axe: one was a wide, cutting axe and the other designed to penetrate armour or helmets. The original, native Egyptian bronze or copper axe was shaped like a large capital D, with the curve being the cutting edge. It had two cut-outs near the straight edge for binding to a handle with leather strips. It was exactly the same as the axe used by craftsmen. The second type was introduced slightly later. It had a longer, more rectangular shape with a narrower cutting edge; in Europe such an axe would have been fitted with a strong socket, but the traditionalist Egyptians continued to use the less robust "tied on" attachment method, often with a simple groove in the handle.
