Hamaxes are a type of tool that work both as an axe and a hammer. They are notably practical tools as they save an inventory slot one would normally need for an additional hammer or axe.
Types[]
There are currently 9 different hamaxes available in Terraria, 7 of which are Hardmode-exclusive.

Trivia[]
- The word "hamaxe" is a portmanteau of "hammer" and "axe".
- The Axe is the only type of hamaxe that does not state the word "hamaxe" in its name in any form. It is also the only hamaxe that emits a special sound when swung.
- Hamaxes, also called splitting mauls, exist in real life as well, though their functions are slightly different.
