A dolabra can be effectively 'sharpened' with a hammer blow or two!

Axes would need to be kept quite sharp, but a pickaxe/dolabra?

I would think that since there was a specific metal 'guard' for the axe end of a dolabra, it was considered important to protect the edge (or protect one from the edge)...
