The Short Axe (Japanese: ショートアクス Short Axe) is a throwing axe introduced in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It is a mid-level, steel-equivalent throwing axe, falling between the Hand Axe and Tomahawk in terms of power and weapon rank, and like these two it is able to attack at both close and distant range.

Short Axe |
In and of itself, the word "short" holds no common meaning with a distinct association with the form of the Short Axe. However, in the context of the Fire Emblem series it matches the Short Spear, an equivalent mid-level ranged lance. |
Spanish |
• Antiespadas |
• Anti-swords. The weapon is known by this name in the Spanish version of Path of Radiance due to an error, as this is actually the Spanish name of the Swordreaver. The error was probably caused by the axe's file name in that game, "SWORDBASTER", which is the Japanese name of the Swordreaver. |
