What you see in the picture is a traditional San hatchett/hand held ax. I bought it from an elderly San woman today. In the Khue language it is called a 'boh'. There is a bigger version used to cut trees and fire wood. For my purposes the smaller version is just fine. It actually works great, has a good feel to it. Also I can understand why it could be a valuable tool. Can't wait to go out in the bush with the San and see how adept they are with it.
