Anonym tells about the chopper
"The utkēn was used as a staff, an axe, and a spear. It was employed in building dwellings, making poles for tents, felling trees in dense forests, in hunting as a spear, and for clearing paths while walking. A sheath was provided for the utkēn to prevent injury to the person."
