Unlike full-grooved axes (which encircle the entire tool), these have a groove around three-quarters of the circumference, leaving one narrow side flat and ungrooved. This flat side allowed the axe head to butt against a wooden handle (haft), with lashing wrapped around the groove for secure attachment. Some examples include subtle ridges above\/below the groove or a shallow secondary groove for a wedge to tighten the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47314442354853,"sku":"L-030","price":490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/L-030_1.jpg?v=1766002278","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/hohokam-3-4-groove-axe","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
