Gundan Robot's Axe

The thick-bladed axe cleaves a heavy wooden table in the Great Hall, its reinforced metal head biting deep with a single brutal swing. The jagged cutting edge glints dully in the torchlight, its weight evident in the force of the strike and the splintering wood it leaves in its wake. The axe’s short shaft and reinforced neck bear the scars of prior clashes, the metal dulled by repeated use against armored targets.
