The most versatile weapon in human history is sarcasm.
For real though, the axe is probably the most useful weapon. Just go read Hatchet, I'd like to see you survive in the Canadian wilderness with just a club.

Damn I remember reading that book a long ass time ago.
A good read.

I think nearly everyone in the world won't ever set foot in the canadian wilderness though.

Yeah but a pommel is still a better ranged weapon. Need to conceal it? Stick it in your pocket, no one's going to ask. Need something hard to beat the crap out of someone? Just put the pommel in your hand and hit them like you were trying to break an egg open. Need to beat the crap out of someone who's out of range? Throw it. Need to push or knock over an object some distance away? Chuck that sucker. Need a mace? Screw a stick into the thread hole. Need to ground up your favorite cereal into dust for snorting purposes? It's like a mortar and pestle.

Oh yeah sure I totally believe that
i'd still say [U]a spear[/U] is the ultimate tool/weapon that humanity ever had.
For me it's an axe. Depending on the kind of axe you got you got;
1.Shit that can chop trees and shit, really anything you need
2.Shit that can chop people and also animals
3.Functional as a club also
4.General tool that can cut whatever
5.A walking stick
Also it uses less metal than a sword and if the wooden handle fucks up you can slot in a new one
Of course it depends on the axe, some axes are not made to be used as tools and so on

It's a bloody great weapon, especially if you need to arm a fuckton of untrained people due to its low cost and barely any training needed. But I wouldn't call it versatile, you can't really do much other than poke people with it, and you're fucked if they get past the tip.
For versatility I have to give it to the axe too.

spear with a dagger or sword or axe as a backup weapon has been the ultimate infantry weapon for most of history
usually when you fight someone with a spear you don't really get to step past the sharp end anyway since there's gonna be another person with a spear right next to them
The most versitile weapon are these here guns baby :flex:

The axe is the most versatile tool yes, but not primaly a weapon. Considering you're talking about the hatchet, not a war axe. When it comes to tools, a really sturdy knife is as if not more important as an axe. A woodman's knife can do everything the axe can (although axe is better for chopping wood and such) but also you can prepare food and create tools with the knife.
The most versatile weapon I'd say has to be the spear. An excellent weapon in hunting and warfare alike. You can throw it, prop it up against a charging foe or animal and even use advanced fighting techniques with if you know some.
Honorary mention for the sword, because even if it requires much more material, manufacturing and training, it is still unrivaled in warfare and self-defense, though it loses to spear in hunting.

yeah that's fair.
i will say however for stuff like hunting and gathering it's topped only by bow/gun
you can throw a spear better than axes or clubs but if i was trapped in some god-forsaken wilderness i'd rather have an axe.

Hey, it's almost like diffrent tools are better for diffrent jobs! :v:
