Throwing Axe

The throwing axe is a weapon in the mod unique to the Dwarves. It works similarly to a spear in that it can be thrown and then retrieved, allowing the player to throw it again and again until either it is lost in the chaos of battle or it breaks. It does less damage than a spear, but it can be thrown instantly, making it good for a quick knock-the-enemy-off-their-feet attack.

Dwarf Axe-Throwers use this weapon to fight.

There are two variants of the throwing axe: the Dwarven throwing axe and the Blue Dwarven throwing axe. The former is used by the Dwarves of the Iron Hills, and the latter is used by the Blue Dwarves of the Blue Mountains.

The player gains the achievement "Baruk Khazâd!" if he/she kills a foe with a Dwarven throwing axe.

Crafting
The image below shows the crafting recipe for a Dwarven throwing axe. This requires two Dwarven steel ingots and two sticks, and it has to be crafted on a Dwarven crafting table. The crafting recipe for a Blue Dwarven throwing axe is the same, except for the fact that the player needs to replace the Dwarven steel ingots with Blue Dwarf steel ingots. It also needs to be done on a Blue Mountains crafting table.
