A vibro-ax, also known as a vibro-axe, was a type of ax that incorporated a small generator to produce vibrations along its cutting edge, dramatically enhancing its cutting power. Both single-handed and double-handed versions were manufactured. Similar vibration-based technology was also implemented in weapons such as vibro-blades, vibro-knives, vibro-pikes, and vibro-lances.
