This bronze dagger-axe, which was unearthed from Manchon-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu, along with bronze daggers and knife sheath accessories, is a slightly modified version of the traditional Korean-style dagger-axe. Its main body is much wider and thinner, while the portion of the main body inserted into the handle is shorter, indicating that its function as a weapon had diminished somewhat.
