The Medieval Axe was a fearsome weapon. It combined many different tactics into one weapon. The Main blade of course was something to be feared but there were other aspects that made it a formidable weapon. The Medieval axe often had a pick like weapon opposite the blade as in this example. Sometimes it had a second blade or even a hammer. It was a feared close combat weapon. Many of them also had some kind of tool at the bottom of the handle. This could be used to pierce and puncture.

The Medieval Axe also found a good use as a polearm weapon. Mounted on the end of a long handled pole it was called a Poleaxe and it was effectively used to keep distance from the enemy and to strike at mounted knights or to reach over the shields and armor of the enemy. Visit the Poleaxe page

There is something about a Medieval Ax - I play online video games. The type of fantasy and medieval games that a lot of people play. In these games you always get to select from a variety of weapons and I almost always opt for a big two-handed Ax. A big beautiful sword brings respect to the bearer but a big and ugly ax brings terror! There is just something medieval about an Ax.

Here is a video of a combat school that trains in medieval weapons and uses medieval garb and techniques. The video shows two students wielding one handed medieval axes and shields. From the video you can get a sense of the tremendous power that can be generated by swinging an axe. Much more force is generated than with a sword because all the weight of the axe is on the end.
