Axe

An axe (UK spelling) or ax (US spelling) is an implement consisting of a sharp metal or flint head on a haft, or handle, which is usually wooden. Axes can be used for chopping wood, as a ceremonial symbol, or, as is more common in the PPC, as a weapon. Agent Laburnum received an axe as a present from the Official Fanfiction University of Redwall after the purging of That Series, and treasures it. Dwarves from many continua are closely associated with axes, especially the ones that don't get along with trees.

"Axe" is also a slang term for a guitar, but it's less common to kill people with those, unless you're Jim Steinman.

"Ax" is also the nickname of Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthil, an Andalite from the Animorphs continuum. While his tail-blade is a deadly weapon, it is not advisable to try wielding it yourself.
