[[Image:Horseman's axe - 1475.jpg|right|thumb|200px|''[[Steel]] '''battle axes''''']]&lt;br /&gt;
A '''battle axe''' is an [[attack types|edge]] [[weapon]] that is essentially a heavy, sharp blade mounted at the end of a haft, roughly parallel to it but set somewhat forwards (in elementary mechanical terms it's just a wedge on the end of a lever). Battle axes have the same range of attacks as larger [[great axe]]s, but with reduced contact area and penetration on their &amp;quot;hack&amp;quot; edged attack. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battle axes use and train the [[Combat skill|axeman]] skill (&amp;quot;Axedwarf&amp;quot; in dwarf mode). Dwarves can [[forge]] battle axes out of any weapon-grade [[metal]], though those with [[material science|superior edge properties]] are more effective. Almost all dwarves can equip battle axes; [[Weapon#Size|some must use two hands]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A battle axe may also be used as a tool for [[wood cutting|chopping down trees]]. Any dwarf that performs wood cutting will pick up an axe (if one is available) and not put it down until they are either no longer assigned the Wood Cutting [[labor]] or required to pick up different [[equipment]] for a new job.  You can make use of this to arm many of your non-[[military]] dwarves with axes, although if you do designate one or more trees for wood-cutting ({{key|d}}esignate {{key|t}}rees), all those dwarves will rush out to cut them down, one per tree designated. [[Wood]]en training axes are no longer able to be use to cut down trees -- they must be metal (or an artifact).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Forging and melting ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Metal battle axes cost '''one''' [[metal]] bar to [[forge]], or '''four''' [[adamantine]] wafers.&lt;br /&gt;
* When a non-adamantine metal battle axe is [[melt|melted down]], it will return '''1.2''' metal bars, for an '''efficiency of 120%'''.&lt;br /&gt;
* When an adamantine battle axe is melted down, it will produce '''1.2''' wafers, for an '''efficiency of 30%'''.&lt;br /&gt;
