Axes

This is a list of base axes. Complete lists of one-handed and two-handed axe-style weapons, including enchanted and unique ones, are also available.

1-Hand

A bewildering variety of one-handed axe styles can be found in Morrowind. The spiked chitin war axe favored by Ashlander and Great House Dunmer is in some ways more like a mace than an axe. The steel war axe is double-bladed; the iron war axe is single-bladed; the glass, ebony, and daedric war axes are single-bladed with balancing spikes. - Garothmuk gro-Muzgub

2-Hand

The term 'battle axe' includes all very heavy axes used two-handed. Most battle axes are double-bladed, but the Nordic battle axe has a single blade. The great mass and efficiency of the battle axe enables a strong warrior to penetrate heavy armor, but the battle axe is also a powerful shock weapon against massed, lightly armored opponents. - Garothmuk gro-Muzgub
