==Characteristics==
The iron axe is the first [[Axe Weapon Family|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.
