Battle axe

Uncommon card · No. 121602

A battle axe (also battle-axe, battle ax, or battle-axe) is an axe specifically designed for combat like a battle axe. Battle axes were designed differently to utility battle axes, with blades more akin to cleavers than to wood battle axes. Many were suitable for use in one hand, while others were larger and were deployed two-handed. Axes designed for warfare ranged in weight from just over 0.5 to 3 kg (1 to 7 lb), and in length from just over 30 cm (1 ft) to upwards of 150 cm (5 ft), as in the case of the Danish axe or the sparth axe. Cleaving weapons longer than 150 cm (5 ft) would arguably fall into the category of polearms.
