battle-ax

The crusty conservative battle-ax Phyllis Schlafly is giving speeches saying that Obama worships government like a god.

He pleaded for his life, but it had no effect upon the Fire Eater, who shortly arose and approached him with his battle-ax.

Another day he exercised the battle-ax, which he so dextrously wielded that he was passed knight of arms in the field.

He looks as though 'he would rush out with a battle-ax on his shoulder to meet a chariot.'

Similar to this is another, "To use a battle-ax to cut off a hen's head."

Tulubin, the next pueblo to Ambawan, and only an hour from it, uses almost solely the Baliwang battle-ax.
