"'God speed the kiss,' said Max, and Katie sigh'd,
With pray'rful palms close seal'd, 'God speed the axe!'"

-Isabella Valencey Crawford, "Malcolm's Katie: A Love Story", Part I, _Old Spookses' Pass, Malcolm's Katie and Other Poems_. 1884.

This weapon falls into the 'Axes' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

The hand axe is fairly powerful for a starting weapon. Still, try to find a bigger axe as soon as possible.

Like all the axes, this weapon allows the player to cleave.

History

Prior to 0.14 hand axes could be thrown at enemies. That role is filled by tomahawks now.
