Plural of haft; the handles, shafts, or grips of axes, daggers, weapons, or tools.
From Old English 'hæft,' meaning 'handle' or 'grip,' likely related to Proto-Germanic 'haftiz,' connected to the concept of grasping or holding.
In archaeological digs, ancient hafts made from bone, wood, or antler are treasured because they reveal exactly how our ancestors used their tools and what materials they valued.
