Flint handaxe, dated to between 500,000 and 180,000 years ago (Lower Paleolithic). The axe belongs to the Acheulean lithic culture, associated with early hominins such as Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis. Acheulean handaxes have been found at sites such as Boxgrove in southern England, as well as roughly contemporary sites in Africa; they were ultimately supplanted by the more sophisticated Levallois stone tools of the Mousterian culture associated with the Neanderthals.

This handaxe was found in Hampshire, England, UK. It is now in the British Museum.

Flare Axe

Weapon (handaxe), uncommon

A sleek handaxe engraved with runes that shimmer faintly. When thrown, it easily lodges into its target, painting it in firelight that makes hiding impossible.

Researchers believe that an object in a 15th-century painting is actually a handaxe that could be as much as 500,000 years old.

Left to right: club, dagger, greatclub, handaxe, javelin, light hammer, mace, quarterstaff, sickle and spear. I really enjoyed how the wood grain textured the background! (size is about 5″x7″)

Flint & Steel

Handaxe, rare

Unusual to say the least, this handaxe has the handle of a flintlock pistol and bottle composed of magically reinforced glass filled with oil. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magical weapon.

While this axe is filled with oil, you can take an action to fire it causing a 15-foot cone of fire to burst forward from the end of the barrel. Creatures within the cone must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Additionally, the blade of the axe catches fire for 1 minute. Attacks with this weapon deal an additional 1d6 fire damage while the blade is alight. If this weapon is thrown as part of a ranged attack while it is filled with oil, it fires on impact in a direction opposite from where it was thrown.

After this weapon has been fired, it is depleted of oil and cannot be fired again until you take 10 minutes to refill it with 1 pint of oil and reset the firing mechanism.
