The Short Axe is a weapon wielded by Kain in Blood Omen 2.[1]
Profile
The Short Axe was first seen in the Canyons in the hands of the Female Mercenaries, though it could later be found unattended on the floors of the Eternal Prison, the Device and the Wharves[Blood Omen 2].
The Short Axe was a smaller version of the Long Axe with which it shared many of its attacks, The Short Axe was much faster and allowed Kain to be more agile than its larger counterpart, but lacked it's more powerful instant-kill grabs[Blood Omen 2].

Thegrab attacks of the Short Axe were a face pommel and batting victims across the room. Stealth kills included a decapitation and a standing downward smash[Blood Omen 2].
Notes
- Like many of the weapons in Blood Omen 2, the short axe is unnamed in-game. Player guides generally use length to distinguish the two Axe designs (Long Axe/Short Axe or Great Axe[2]/Small Axe[3])
- Prima's Blood Omen 2 Guide simply calls the short axe an "axe"[4] (in contrast to calling the long axe a "two-handed axe"[5]) .
- In-game debug information calls this weapon "Handax2", perhaps relating to the "Hax" label for the Long Axe[Blood Omen 2].
