Yeah, more axes, but I disagree with the designers that they all have to be slow:

Whirling Hairsplitter
Extended two-handed but uses two double-bladed ends and is subject to Dual Weapons Skill penalties.

Fast but very difficult to use well. Chance of colateral damage to others (within party only) in same region (ex. right flank, rear, etc.), dependent upon Axe skill. Damage to self also possible at very low skill levels.

Fast due to symmetric design and always moving during battle - each double-bladed end:
Base damage: 7-19, but modified 0.2 per Skill Point by Axe Skill below 30 or above 70.
Init: +6
To Hit: +3
Kill 4%
Stam -1 when it is the current weapon (due to continuous movement)

Fighter, Lord, Ranger, Gadgeteer only. Races except Faerie. Requires 60 Strength.

Available always, early midgame.
