| A tool for rending apart the fibres of wood, or flesh. Small and crafted for fast, precise handling, it is also balanced such that it can be thrown if necessary.

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.
The hand axe is fairly powerful for a starting weapon, and can do enough damage when thrown to be worth the effort early on. Still, try to find a bigger axe as soon as possible.
