pointed axe, i.e. an axe with a heavy point opposite the edge (3). Here too
one or two springs are often found. Today there are firefighter's axes made
of a non-sparking alloy. The stem can be short (about 35 cm) or long (about
80-90 cm). The short handle often has slight bumps along its entire length
