The hand-axe was perhaps the most popular tool of the Stone Age; used for cutting and scavenging purposes. Specifically, the Acheulean hand-axe of the Paleolithic Age predates most, if not all other tools. To make sharp edges on these hand-axes, flaking was used on the hard stone to chip away at it. They are used in some rural areas as an amulet to protect against storms. Hand axe tools were possibly used to butcher animals; to dig for tubers, animals and water; to chop wood and remove tree bark; to throw at prey; and as a source for flake tools.
