The Steel Battleaxe is a two-handed weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is the only common battleaxe in the game (excluding the Stalhrim BattleaxeDR) with a two-headed design.
Location[]
Unenchanted steel battleaxes will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 2 and enchanted battleaxes can be found at level 3. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
- Wielded by various characters and enemies.
- Found as random loot in chests, or as a world item throughout Skyrim.
Variants[]
Smithing[]
Crafting the battleaxe requires the Steel Smithing perk. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 2 x Leather Strips
- 4 x Steel Ingot
- 1 x Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
