The axes of Alone

On Alone, the axe is the shelter-builder and the firewood engine. Winners have credited their axe more often than any item except the knife, and a few have painted theirs orange for a reason: losing it in the leaf litter can end a season.

Here is every axe and hatchet documented across the franchise, with the contestants who carried them.
