probably for the metal value only, war axes are razor sharp with a very slim profile bc they are built for penetration rather than to act as a wedge like splitting axes do. the mass of bronze would also have been a lot smaller due to needing to be fairly light so it can be swung around a whole lot before causing exhaustion.

Certainly not as hard as tempered steel but good bronze is significantly harder and tougher than mild steel and was plenty good enough for working wood. 3) even relatively pure copper (not bronze) can be work hardened and were used as knives and tools prior to the bronze age. The ancient Egyptians used both copper and bronze to make the enormous cross-cut saws that cut 20+ ton slabs of granite (with an abrasive).

- There are reasons for the existence of different metals with unique properties, so they can be used for specific purposes, like conduction, construction, cutting, etc etc. - Copper is a conductive metal that is better suited to be applied for conduction in technology, so using it again for construction is like going backwards before Science helped reveal the elemental properties of metals.
