The shepherd's axe is a long thin light axe of Eurasian origin used in past centuries by shepherds in the Carpathian Mountains and in other territories which comprise today Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary.[1] The features of a shepherd's axe combine a tool with a walking stick, that could be used as a light weapon.
