The '''iron axe''' is a recurring {{Axe}} weapon in the {{DQSeries}}.
Introduced in the original game, it is a mid-level weapon typically restricted to more physically-oriented characters.
 
==Characteristics==
The iron axe is the first {{Axe}} in the series to be used as a weapon. It is a simple tool for woodcutting, but can be a deadly weapon in the right hands. The axe consists of a sharpened iron head attached to the top of a wooden handle. The handle has a length of cloth wrapped around it.
 
Although it is described as being heavy and difficult to wield, it has no actual bearing on gameplay. It was originally depicted as a small hand axe, but after {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, the iron axe now has a long enough handle to be wielded with two hands.
 
The axe's design was changed once again in {{X}} so that the entire weapon is made out of metal. The axe head has two grooves in it and the handle has a dark blue grip.
