An axe is a kind of melee weapon. Axes do an extra d4 damage against wood golems.[1]
Axes are throwable. They are quite useful on doors because they will always destroy a normal door, but never a shop door. You can also apply an axe to chop down a tree but it is not currently possible to apply them to corpses.
Barbarians start with an axe as a secondary weapon 50% of the time.[2]

Axes and battle-axes both use the axe skill. When applied, all types of axes can be used to chop down doors. Cleaver is the only artifact axe.
