I just noticed the beginning of Inglorious Basterds, set in WW2 France. The axe being used for splitting looks distinctly American.

Documentary footage of American Axes being used in Normandy.

It looks they run out of OD paint.... (probably not part of specification)

Seems like the right tool at the time and for the situation...looks like he just got it and was trying it out

I like the big old double bit that Paul Newman uses to cut the leg chains in "Cool Hand Luke".

That looks like a Black Raven on the wall with the gold paint still in the embossing. And if it is why didn’t he choose it for his weapon?..

My wife and I like to watch 80's horror movies. The other night we watched a 1987 movie called Blood Rage. This Stanley carpenters hatchet makes an appearance just about 4 minutes into the movie. If you have amazon prime you can check it out - but be warned, it's not being used for its intended purpose
