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. The touchmark functions as an identifier or signature that proudly proclaims the creator of the 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.
