The Iron axe is a recurring weapon in the Dragon Quest series. 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.
Appearances
Dragon Quest
In the original NES version, it was known as the Hand Axe. Due to text restrictions in the Game Boy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the iron axe was simply known as Iron with a symbol of an axe next to it.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
The iron axe has an attack bonus of +38. It can only be equipped by Yangus. The iron axe appears to be the signature weapon of Yangus, as he is depicted in many pieces of official art wielding it.
