Abstract: An axe capable of delivering a relatively intensified impact and reduced recoil compared to prior art axes. The axe includes a head, a handle, a rigid casing, and shock-absorbing particles disposed within a portion of the axe. The head includes a blade end and a blunt end with the handle integrally extending from the blunt end and terminating in a grip portion. The rigid casing extends upwardly from around the grip portion of the handle, extends over a rear portion of the head, and terminates against a portion of the blade end of the head. Shock-absorbing particles are disposed within a chamber that is defined by the casing and the head. Upon impact of the axe with an object, the particles suddenly shift forward to intensify the impact of the axe and to reduce the recoil of the axe.
