Gaa...

A medieval battle axe. It is only one of the many types of battle axes.

Axes are a kind of tool that can be used as a weapon. Though they are usually used for chopping wood or tilling land, axes are good weapons because of their sharp blade, and the fact that they are easy to use and make. There are two types of axes: a regular woodcutting axe, and powerful battle-axes that were popular in medieval times. Though the weapon looks easy to use, the unskilled could easily get injured if they are not sure what they are doing. Axes are unpredictable, however they're capable of chopping through bone, wood, metal, etc.
