The term 'Fighting Ax' is a reference to the TOMAHAWK, an ax-like weapon used by Native Americans. The TOMAHAWK was used for hunting and warfare, and was often decorated with feathers and other symbols of tribal identity. It was also used as a tool for cutting wood and other materials. The word 'TOMAHAWK' comes from the Algonquian language, and is derived from the words 'tamahaac' and 'tamahak', which mean 'to cut off'.
