Etymology

The term 'hafted' originates from the Old Norse word 'haft,' which means 'to grip' or 'handle.' This reflects the essential function of a haft as a part of tools and weapons that aids in handling and manipulating them effectively. The concept of hafting dates back to prehistoric times when early humans first began attaching stones or sharp materials to wooden shafts to create more efficient cutting and piercing instruments. Over the centuries, various cultures have developed their own forms of hafting techniques, often using natural materials such as wood, bone, or leather for the construction of the handle. Archaeological findings frequently indicate that hafted tools provided significant advantages in daily survival tasks such as hunting, processing food, and crafting, leading to the wide adoption and refinement of this design in tool-making practices.
