TIL that an axe blade rotated by 90 degrees (like a hoe) is an "adze"

@nina_kali_nina it's an abbreviation
ADZE stands for Agressive Dissector Z-plane Edge, ADXE and ADYE are for blades in X-plane and Y-plane respectively. Here's a 3d-rendering showing the AD*E axis naming convention.
Axe is just a common misspelling of ADXE, which became acceptable like disk/disc

An openscad rendering of three instances of an axe generalization, where the blade is turned in all funny directions and also axes directions shown on the left. The things are subtitled ADXE (regual axe) ADZE (the one mentioned in the original post) ADYE (the typical ice cleaning thingy, the edge pointing directly away from the handle). The handles are vertical and the axes correspond the planes in which blades lay: x-axis towards viewer, y to the right, z is up

Here is the code generating the rendering:
module ad(e) { color("grey") rotate(e) rotate([0,0,90]){ translate([10,0]) rotate_extrude(angle=20,start=-10) translate([-10,0]) { rotate(-45) intersection() { circle(10); square(10); } square(5,center=true); } } translate([0,0,-27]) cylinder(d=2,h=30); } translate([0,-30,0]) ad([0,0,0]); translate([0,-30,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADXE",size=4,halign="center"); translate([0,0,0]) ad([0,90,0]); translate([0,0,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADZE",size=4,halign="center"); translate([0,30,0]) ad([90,0,0]); translate([0,30,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADYE",size=4,halign="center"); — An openscad rendering of three instances of an axe generalization, where the blade is turned in all funny directions and also axes directions shown on the left.
