Axe

Axes are a common weapon found in the Hunger Games. Having a heavy, slashing blade, an axe is a favorite of those wishing to get more power out of their attacks, but still not wanting too much weight.

Description
The common axe is different from it's cousins the Battle Axe and Throwing Axe. It is composed of a wooden handle about 3 feet in length, with a single, heavy axehead fastened on top. The weapon can also be used as a cutting tool, being very useful for gathering wood for shelter.

Child of the Wind: The 109th Hunger Games
Axes first appear in Child of the Wind: The 109th Hunger Games, wielded by a variety of tributes.
