It wasn't a pretty weapon, his axe.
The thing had been rusted and battered when he found it in the back of a factory, and months of hard use hadn't improved its condition any. The edge was nicked and blunted, the haft stained with blood and grime and the sweat of his own hands. It had none of the beauty of a sword, nothing at all of elegance or grace. In his hands, it felt more like a hammer than a blade, heavy and awkward.
But for all its faults, his axe had one advantage: it never broke. Swords failed over time, shattering on the Chitinous Armor of a Behemoths or dulling themselves against an Eternal Soldier's Way of Earth, and even the most experienced fencer couldn't protect his weapons from the final destruction of death. Beauty faded, elegance and grace could be destroyed. Only the blunt, brutal, practical weapons – the clubs and crowbars, the lead pipes and lengths of chain – could stand up to the worst abuse.
No amount of further training could improve his skills with the axe; it was too poor a weapon for true proficiency.
But crude and ugly though it was, it never left his side.
