Stone axes have been superseded by steel axes and machetes since major contacts in the 1930s. Stone axes were continued to be produced in certain areas since and continued use as gifts including wedding payments.

There is a good book on stone axe making & use and I'll try to locate the reference. Or shall I say, "There is no "try". Either "do" or "not do".

Not the book, but a good recent article:
