Yeah, small hatchets as well, but as I recall see the one movie Last of the 
Mohicans, I do recall the one indian using an impressive looking ax type 
weapon. Maybe more called a warclub, not really sure.

Horseman uses an ax in addition to his sword, and that's another solid 
American folk tale. >>  

Yeah, i have seen it but everytime i have said anything of in on here i get 
yelled at. But i will say this, the ax the Horseman used was a small ax like 
a hatchet.

I like it alot actually.  :-)

Jason used machetes and Mike used large kitchen knives as i recall.  :-)
