This article is about woodcutting axes. For weapon axes, see Iron War Axe or Kong's Axe.
Axes are tools used to hasten the collection of wood. They allow the player to chop down trees and other specific blocks at a faster pace than a pickaxe would. The speed in which it breaks blocks increases depending on its material and the Woodcutting skill.
