Handaxe

A lighter one-handed cutting blade at the end of a short haft, weighing about 1-2 lbs. Handaxes were popular among many cultures for their versatility as a tool, a melee weapon, and a missile weapon. They are commonly associated with Native Americans as a tomahawk.

The later hurlbat/whirlbat developed in Europe was a lighter, solid-steel throwing weapon with a sharpened butt-spike, which benefits from improved Toughness. The fierce fracisca was noted for its ability to bounce unpredictably before striking a target, and might gain the Ricochet extra.
