# Butchering Axe ## Item 0 ### [uncommon](uncommon "Uncommon Rarity Trait")[[PF2 Mechanics/Reference/zz_traits/orc]][[shove]][[sweep]] | | | | -- | -- | | **Category** advanced melee weapon | **Group** axe | | **Price** 8 gp | | | **Bulk** 2 | **Size** med | | **Damage** 1d12 slashing | **Usage** held-in-two-hands | Invented by Belkzen's zealous Steel-Eaters, the butchering axe has an oversized head and a long, thick haft counterbalanced with steel or stone. The weapon's sweeping strokes inflict immense damage, particularly against groups of foes, and can push dangerous opponents away to a safe distance. All of these qualities are particularly useful against the lumbering zombie hordes of the Whispering Tyrant. Correspondingly, butchering axes are often wielded by orc and half-orc Crimson Reclaimers of Lastwall. *Source: Pathfinder Lost Omens: The Grand Bazaar* *OGL*
