2 part answer:
Part one: Touch Mark = Markers mark

Touchmark stamps are used by creators, blacksmiths, and artists to add a small signature mark to their finished pieces.

Steel touchmark stamps are ideal for creating this type of mark because they are durable - producing clear, crisp marks throughout their long service life.

Part 2: Pick axe and an Adze have entirely 2 different functional uses (one can argue that they could be used on either application for their intended design.
