The process of attaching or fixing a blade, axe head, or other tool onto a handle or shaft.
Present participle of 'haft.' The practice dates back to prehistory; archaeological evidence shows hafting techniques evolved from simple wrapping to complex joinery and binding methods.
Hafting was such a critical skill in human history that archaeologists use hafting styles and materials to date ancient settlements and trace trade routes across continents.
