Single-edged stone axe

Japanese: 片刃石斧 - かたはせきふ
Single-edged stone axe
A polished stone axe with a blade that is angled from only one side, not both sides. There are flat single-edged stone axes with a flat base, gouged stone axes, and small, slender, columnar single-edged stone axes. They are thought to have been used like hand axes or chisels. In Japan, they are one of the wooden tools that were introduced from the continent during the Yayoi culture.
