Toki Kaka Poto (Maori Pounamu Axe) in MADINZ Presentation Box

Introduced by the early European settlers in the early 1800's, the steel-headed axe was soon adopted by the Māori. Their axe was made by lashing a pounamu head, (which had been ground down to a cutting edge), to a carved wooden handle with flax. These axes were used to fell trees and to hollow and shape the waka taua – war canoes.
 
Pounamu has an important role in Māori culture. It is considered a taonga (treasure). Pounamu taonga increase the mana as they pass from one generation to the other.
