Axe

An Axe is a metal blade attached to a wood staff. It can be double edged or simple edged. Its first use is to cut wood ; it's the main instrument of the lumberjack. It can also be used as a weapon or as an ornament.

Domestic use
Merlin carried a simple edged axe to cut wood, while Will pursued him and said that he didn't need an axe to fell a tree (The Moment of Truth).



Weapon use

 * In The Beginning of the End, the executioner sharpened his simple edged axe to fulfil the punishment of Mordred, in the Main Square.
 * The leader of the bandits, Kanen, rose a double edged axe to give Matthew the final blow, as the brigands raided Ealdor. Thanks to Arthur, he was stopped at the very last moment (The Moment of Truth).
 * For the Decennial Tournament, some contestants used an axe. Before the competition, one of the contestants was chopping a training dummy's head off with a double edged axe, and Nollar was throwing a hatchet into the target, while Merlin and Arthur were passing by (The Sorcerer's Shadow).

Ornamental use
Edwin threw at Merlin an axe which adorned a wall of his chambers, but Merlin overpowered Edwin and sent him back the axe to kill him. (A Remedy to Cure All Ills)
