Hamaxes

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.
