Apparently, there was an incident involving this axe between North Korean and American soldiers in 1976. Without seeking permission from the North Koreans, two Americans decided to chop down a poplar tree which was blocking their view of the North. A little skirmish took place and the axe was grabbed by a North Korean who then killed one of the Americans. The details are not at all savoury.
