The Large Stone Axe is a two-handed crafted axe made from a stone head bound to a Large Handle. It trains the Axe skill. It weighs 3.
It is both a weapon and a woodcutting tool. It fells trees, cuts plants and splits wood, which makes it valuable before a metal axe turns up. In a fight it hits harder than many improvised weapons but far softer than a Wood Axe. It is made from a Large Handle, a Large Stone Axe Head and three bindings at Maintenance 1. The Lumberjack is the best occupation for axes. It starts with the most Axe skill. The Firefighter also starts with some Axe skill.
Combat
The Large Stone Axe swings at base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.7 and 1.8 damage. The crit chance starts at 15 percent, and a crit deals five times the damage.
The weapon is two-handed, and its weight makes each swing tiring. Short fights against one or two zombies suit it best. The Axe skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance and lowers the endurance cost. The Ax-pert trait from the Lumberjack occupation speeds up every axe swing, this one included.
Against the Wood Axe, the Large Stone Axe deals less damage and crits less often. It suits the early game, before a metal axe is found.
Uses
The Large Stone Axe counts as a tree chopping tool. It cuts down trees and cuts plants. It chops a Log into six Firewood and a Large Branch into four, with some Wood Splinters each time. It serves as the tool for log furniture such as the Log Bench, Log Stool, Log Table and Log Stairs. It also works as the cutting tool for the Bone Spike Weapon recipe.

Repair
The Large Stone Axe has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 15 chance of taking a point off. The Axe and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct tape, adhesive tape and glue repair it with no skill needed. Zip ties need Maintenance 1, and wood glue needs Carpentry 2. Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and epoxy with rags needs Maintenance 4. Each repair restores less condition than the one before. Dismantle Long Implement returns the Large Stone Axe Head for a new handle.
Notes
- A sharp knife is needed to bind the head and is kept after crafting.
- Researching it can teach the Make Large Stone Axe, Make Stone Maul Head and Forge Old Axe Head recipes.
- The Large Stone Axe is a strong early tool for building log furniture.
