Iron Pickaxe

The Iron Pickaxe is an early game pickaxe, stronger than the starting Copper Pickaxe and weaker than the Silver Pickaxe. It has an alternate ore version, the Lead Pickaxe, which is actually slightly stronger. Like all pickaxes, it is used to mine the majority of blocks and ores.

Trivia
The name of the item is a combination of the words "Iron" and "Pickaxe", which may or may not be a reference to the item being a Pickaxe that you craft from iron bars. However, it should be noted that even though it is referred as a "Pickaxe", it only has the functionality of a "Pick", and cannot cut trees like an "Axe" would.
