@maiyannah Yeah, you can still use a dull axe to cut pine branches or willow wood. But it just takes a sharpening to be usable again.
And yes, poorly made steel can be brittle in parts and shatter, but most commercial tools are made of a decent one nowadays since it's no longer hard to make it like it was centuries ago.
