In browsing Burke’s General Armory entry for the Corporation of Dublin Butchers, the arms are described as having "two butchers’ falling axes in saltier [sic]." I cannot find what these axes (which I think are correctly termed "felling axes" looked like. By contrast, the Company of Butchers in London has "two slaughter-axes", which look like poleaxes to me. Anyone who might know what the felling axes looked like?
a felling axe is has either double blades or a flattened end for added weight to allow greater striking force. i think these are strictly for lumbering, though.

This auction is for an old primitive Bull Axe or Felling Axe. This type of axe was used mainly as a butchering tool , the poll end was used for felling cattle in the early 1800’s . The head is unmarked. It measures 8" in length and 4 1/4"wide at the blade. It weighs 4 pounds 12 ounces. As you can see in the pics it does show its age. It has some pitting and there are seams showing from where the axe was forged together , I would not call them damage cracks . This is a great primitive to add to your collection.
If you have any questions please ask. Thank you and good luck.
See figure 26 for handle:

This is a very weighty splitting axe used for splitting lenghts of timber for planks or for cutting smaller pieces into fire wood. While a very large man might be able to fell a tree with this axe, it is much to heavy to be swung for a long period. The felling axe for timber is much lighter with either a double or single edge. The smaller handless blade in the photograph is a wedge with an ingenious notch on the side for extracting it should it become caught in a piece of timber (never seen this before, would like to have had one twenty-five years ago when the family home was heated with a large stove).
This is all very helpful. Many, many thanks.
