Classic American Design

Anyone here ever read Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie series? Whenever her dad would go afield, he'd always take his hatchet and his rifle.

I'm not so sure that ax/hatchet tools are particularly American. However, I seems to recall that some specific ax/hatchet designs are in fact uniquely American. I suppose the tomahawk might claim a pretty distinctly American heritage, too. Any ax nuts out there willing to shed some light on this idea?
