"'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.

It can be thrown at enemies.

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