===Axes===
* The [[w:battle axe|battle-axe]] is a broad-headed axe used to cleave through armor and shields. It can be wielded in one hand, and some battle-axes are double-bladed.{{Ref|aCoK|23}}
* The hand axe is a warrior’s version of a [[w:hatchet|hatchet]], smaller than a battle-axe and balanced to be thrown. These short-hafted axes are used by the [[ironmen]] to dance the [[finger dance]].{{ref|ACOK|24}}
* The [[w:Dane axe|longaxe]] is a long-hafted version of the battle-axe. The longaxe is light enough to be wielded by one hand.{{Ref|aCoK|22}} A longaxe may have a double-bladed axe head or it may have a spike on one side.{{ref|asos|51}} It is likely that some longaxes are large enough to require two hands, such as the one wielded by [[Areo Hotah]].{{ref|AFFC|21}}
* The woodsman's axe, a tool for chopping and splitting wood, can turn into a deadly weapon. Normally used by [[smallfolk]] and brigands, it is single-bladed and smaller than its martial cousin, the battle-axe.
* Stone axes are proudly used by the [[free folk]].{{ref|TWOIAF|The Wall and Beyond: The Wildlings}}
* The [[Ibbenese]] are fond of axes.{{ref|ACOK|29}}{{ref|ASOS|3}}
