AXE TO GRIND is an old expression.
In modern times the expression is the label for sinister folks with chips on their shoulders wanting justification to be violent or punitive. But in the Old Days it referred to folks who used social occasions for utilitarian outcomes, like sharpening dull axes. That is, manipulate others for free services.
