Giant Handaxe
A giant mystery. It is unsure why giant handaxes were created. There are many debates as to their social and cultural purpose, possibly prestige, fertility symbols, ritual, or just for the challenge.....

Cannot wait to finally start posting my alien Stede fic next Thursday. Here’s a lil snip of chapter 5 for #WIPWednesday #OFMD
Lucius glared at him as rose back up to his full height. "All due respect, Captain, but I don't really think this is the ideal environment for-AHHH!" Lucius broke off in a shriek as he caught sight of a handax hurtling through the air towards his face, thrusting the logbook up as a makeshift shield with a terrified whimper. Well, that clearly would not do-not for his logbook or for his scribe's face. Stede threw out an arm, snatching the handax out of the air in mid-rotation by the back of the blade, and yanked it down and away from Lucius' face. He scanned the deck and quickly located the human responsible for hurling it in their direction, notable in that he had gone stock still and was now staring at him in wide-eyed shock. He spared only a passing thought for Izzy's insistence that they not involve themselves in the fray before coming to the conclusion that, well, he was holding an ax now. Surely no one would mind if he simply...returned the weapon to its rightful owner? It seemed unlikely anyone would notice it in all this commotion if he was quick about it. He could be very quick when the occasion called for it. He smoothly flipped the handax over to grip it by the handle, cocked back his arm, and sent it sailing back in the direction of its thrower at top speed. The man had only enough time to open his mouth to shout in alarm before the blade buried itself neatly between his eyes and he crumpled to the deck in a heap. There-now he would stay out of combat. And no one had even notic- "What the fuck?" Oops.

As complete a tree as possible on the development of culinary knives from the handax to now.

history channel just showed an ad for a 20-part world war II documentary series and that just seems like a lot

It was many years ago, loved the isolation and natural beauty, stayed in a gîte, toured Peche Merle. My meter square was 80,000 BP, uncovered quartzite handax and bison jaws.

Digital art of an anthro goat woman who is staring forward while holding an orb of water in front of her. She has a rough and well-worn cloak, a loose tunic, a cloth draped over her belt on one side, pants, and her limbs are wrapped with white cloth bandages. She does not have shoes and has a waterskin hanging from her side. She also has moss and mushrooms growing from her hair. Digital art of an anthro dog dwarf. They have large black eyes showing they're a neverlight, or a subterranean living dwarf dog. They have on a chain shirt over a cloth gambeson. Over this is layers a belt of cloth, cloth pauldrons, and a cloth bib. They have metal-toed boots and wield a warhammer and a handax. Digital art of an anthro gryphon, he is dress in fine clothing, red accented with yellow. He has plain pants with a leather belt and metal buckle. His boots are leather with studs of metal. He holds a fiddle that he plays on. Next to him is text that reads off songs he knows "Blood's rhythm, to love & touch, and Siridin".

I'm currently playing a very cranky wood elf ranger (Gloomstalker). Her answer to everything is to shoot it. If it takes a swipe at her or manages to hit her, she losses her crap.

Ended up taking a handax to a stone pressure plate last game while yelling at it in multiple languages.

#DungeonPalooza ny @@SoCalDND Item number... a bunch...

A small #CosplayProp #Handax made of foam, wood & #worbla.
Great for #costumes, conventions and even low-impact technical practice - but not for #LARP or sparring.
