Editing Adze (section)

=== Bulgarian adze ===
During the communist period of Bulgaria, a new multi-use woodworking adze, called {{lang|bg|Теслà}} ({{transliteration|bg|Teslà}}), emerged. It has a sharpened edge perpendicular to the handle, resembling an adze, but it is also used like a carpenter's hammer. On the back of the head is a textured poll for driving nails, and on the front is a V-shaped hole used for prying, to extract the bent nails.

Some urban legends{{weasel inline|date=June 2024}} say that Bulgarian migrant workers always carry their adzes with them so they can do construction work more efficiently due to the lack of Western equivalent of the tool. The Bulgarian adze is often mistaken for a hammer.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DIIVuh9jT4&t=199s |title=Building a tiny house |date=2023-04-23 |last=Miriam Lancewood |time=3m19s |quote=So my main tools were this Bulgarian hammer... |via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

There is a popular Bulgarian folk song called "На теслата дръжката" (eng: The tesla's handle) about a craftsman and the masculinity of his tool.
