A pick-axe is a tool that is also a weapon. It can be (a)pplied to dig into walls, through the floor, or to smash boulders and statues. For those aiming for the weaponless conduct, a common accident is to break the conduct by hitting a monster immediately after digging with a pick-axe.

Archeologists start with a pick-axe, and many can be found on the bodies of recently deceased dwarves.

In the #enhance screen, the pick-axe skill applies to both the pick-axe and the two-handed dwarvish mattock (unidentified appearance of which is "broad pick").

To prevent theft, shopkeepers will not let you into shops with a pick-axe or mattock in your main inventory. It must be held in a container or left behind.
