A '''battle-axe''' is a kind of [[melee]] [[weapon]], a more powerful [[two-handed]] version of the regular [[axe]].  When [[identification|unidentified]], it appears as a '''double-headed axe'''. Having a double head, the battle-axe is twice as heavy as the regular (single-headed) axe. [[Cleaver]] is the only [[artifact weapon|artifact]] battle-axe.

While they may be powerful early-game choices, battle-axes are two-handed. This means that if a battle-axe become cursed while you wield it, you will [[Two-handed#Strategy|lose the ability to do a number of actions]]. In [[NetHack 3.6.0]] and later, players wielding two-handed weapons can use the #[[tip]] command to get items out of containers and onto the floor, so the curse is slightly more manageable than in earlier versions.
