    The purpose of the two-headed axe is you can keep one side very sharp with a steep bevel for chopping a tree normally and the other side more dull with not as steep of a bevel for hitting things like roots near the ground where your edge could hit a rock or something.

    Fun fact for anyone who sees this. A double bit axe has two blades for a reason other than looking cool. It has to do with edge retention in different materials. One side of the axe is sharpened to a different angle than the other. The sharper of the two sides is for chopping higher up on the tree, where you aren't in danger of smashing your axe into the ground, and the other side is for work closer to the ground, where the different angle is a sturdier edge that won't take as much damage when you invariably clip the ground by accident.

      joeystar8888 Assuming those two Jerry cans are filled, there wouldn't really be any real way for a combustion reaction to happen. The toxic-yet-non-volatile fumes that would build up (if there's any space in the can to fill it with gas) would probably ruin the oxygen-gas mixture to cause an explosion. But we don't know how full the can is, nor do we know how thick the cans are. But it's likely that there'd be no way for it to explode if it was full, or if it was empty, would have lost the oxygen-gas mixture a long time ago

    The purpose of double bitted axes in history was (likely) primarily for woodchopping, so you could chop until the first got dull, then keep using the other side for a good while before they have to stop to sharpen the blades.

    double headed axes, also known as a double-bit, have two blades with two different bevels. One is a thinner bevel to chop into wood easier and to also dig in deeper each cut, while the other is broader to split, making each hit drive the wood further from itself.
    Essentially the thinner is for cross cutting while the thicker is for rip cutting/ splitting.

    The reason some axes have two blades is for woodcutting, one blade is kept extremely sharp for easy felling of a tree, while the other is kept a bit more dull for chopping roots, as striking the ground is a quick way to dull any sharp blade, so one blade is kept a bit more dull.

    • @loganf4409

    The reason for a double headed axe: lumberjacks who got paid by the tree actually needed differently ground edges. One was used to remove bark, including moss and maybe little stones and all that, and the other edge had a more flat grind and was solely for cutting the clean wood. Thus allowed them to cut trees down more easily without having to re-sharpen their axes all the time

    There is actually a very good reason to have a double headed axe, especially in lumberjack work/logging. Two different heads for two different purposes, instead of carrying around a sharp chopping ace and a dull splitting axe have them both attached to the same handle to save weight and the extra weights helps in the swing.
