The '''Fire Axe''' is the default [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a stereotypical fireman's axe with a red axe head, silver edge and a wooden handle.
 
  
In most circumstances, the [[Flamethrower]] is a better choice for targets in melee range; however, the Fire Axe is typically used on unaware enemies and for humiliation purposes, or countering a nearby enemy Pyro. The [[Critical hits|critical hit]] animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing. On a successful crit, the swing animation is a vertical up to down swift.
