In the evolution of tools, one may see the axe as the combination of stick, stone and knife.

	Kitchen Axe Often the first axe one finds.
	The Hibben Pro Thrower Axe A really nice little device.
	Francisca Historic device, for throwing optimized axe.
	Dan Axe Historic design with very long handle.
	Firestone Axe For throwing optimized modern axe.
	Double Sided Viking(?) Axe Classical design with short handle and two identical blades.
	Double Sided Woodcutter Axe With long handle and two different blades.

The symmetry of the axe is less than of the knife's. The center of gravity is out of the grip axis. This means, the handling of an axe has less freedom than the handling of a knife

With knife throwing, one might tolerate a rotation around the length axis. At least a knife might stick horizontaly once. But with the axe, a twist around the long axis is very bad spin. But the good news is, that the axe is easier to make precisely rotate stable as a disk.
