Wood-chopping tool (3)

I believe the answer is:

axe

(Other definitions for axe that I've seen before include "Terminate; chopper" , "Eliminate" , "Chopping tool with heavy blade" , "saw alternative?" , "Sack with cleaver?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the USA Today, the Newsday.com, the Jonesin', the Newsday and the Wall Street Journal.
