The
hand axe was a variation of the axe which probably found its
first use as a hatchet or similar woodsman's tool. Normally
carried as a secondary weapon, the hand axe was a good, fast
fighting weapon which required no great skill or strength to
employ. Being light, it wasn't as effective against an armored
opponent as an axe or great axe were, but it was nonetheless
a
very versatile weapon.
