The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (book): the tin woodman, Nick Chopper, carries an ax because he is a woodman who cuts wood for a living (hence the name) and he uses it to cut wood as well as for self defense. :)
The Wizard of Oz (movie 1939): the tin man, Ozian counterpart of Hickory the Farmhand, has an ax because he was using it to cut wood before he rusted, but itβs never really specified that itβs his profession or explained why he carries it around the whole movie.
Wicked the Musical: nobody knows how Boq got an ax and frankly, he probably shouldnβt be allowed around sharp objects unless they are baby proofed for him.

Hickory: βnow I know I have a heart, because it's breaking.β
Boq(book): "People who claim that they are evil are usually no worse than the rest of us. It's people who claim that they're good, or anything better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of."
Boq(musical): *running across stage* βMiSs GaLiNdAaAaAaAaA!!1!!1! MiSs GaLiNdAaAaAaAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1!!!!!1!!!!!!β
