The '''Headsman's axe''' is a recurring weapon in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)| Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is a ferocious-looking axe that provides melee-oriented characters with considerable boon in the late-game part of their journey. It is the first of the low-accuracy-but-always-[[Critical Hit|critical]] category of weapons, succeeded by the [[Hela's hammer]].

[[Aishe]] is the only one who can equip the axe in either version of ''VII''. It provides +108 attack, +20 [[Style]], and a reduced accuracy of {{fraction|3|8}} (37.5%). As it is not cursed and does not consume MP upon use, it is more convenient to use than the normal Hela Hammer and [[Hatchet Man]].

The axe is '''incredibly''' hard to come by in a normal playthrough, being dropped only by [[Vulgarian]]s at a {{fraction|1|256}} rate.
