Training spears, swords and axes are edgeless wooden weapons created at a carpenter's workshop.
Dwarves won't harm each other (or themselves) during combat drills, or sparring while using metal weapons, so training weapons are usually only useful when you have no metal weapon of the kind you'd like your soldiers to train with. Training weapons are useless in combat, so make sure that your soldiers have exchanged them for real weapons before sending them into battle, even if it means using a weapon they are totally unfamiliar with.
Note that soldiers equipped with training weapons can grow attached to their worthless wooden weapons. Congratulations, you now have a legendary stick.
Training weapons also have a few specific applications: poor-quality training spears are a prime component in danger room design, and training axes can be used as equipment for tree cutting, freeing up embark points for other supplies.
