The Iron axe is an axe in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The axe's original design consists of a sharpened axe head attached to the top of a wooden handle. The handle has a length of cloth wrapped around the base as a grip. It is described as being heavy and difficult to wield, its usage being restricted to physically strong vocations and characters.

In earlier games, the iron axe is a 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 Dragon Quest 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.
