This is a bearded axe (skeggox) of the type commonly used in Europe in the early middle ages. The tint of the axe head comes from a photo of a replica
in the Tower of London.
King Harold's housecarls famously used these axes during the battle of hastings. It is said that they could cleave a horse in two in one swipe.
The zip file contains the models, textures, an icon, a uti file and a hak.
The model replaces parts a and c of the greataxe. Use option #30.
There is also a model for part b as a placeholder just in case, but I don't think that it is necessary. Use option #0 for part b.
To use the override version, extract the MDB files (3) and the DDS files (2) to your override folder.
To use the hak, simply attach it to your module.
An icon is also included, but I did not wish to modify anyone's nwn2_icons.2da. I'll leave that to you.
Enjoy and happy cleaving!
=====Update 10/12/08=====
This model has been bundled with Axe Pack #1 for more cleaving enjoyment.
@nicethugbert: Overall dimensions or specific areas? I thought the handle might be a bit too wide, particularly where the character grips it, but I was trying to go for about a 5 ft overall length. Thought I got it right. I'll take a looksee at it
@Zodiac: A hand axe. That's not a bad idea. May try that.
Thanks for your comments, both of you. _________________________ "I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. I have your review before me. In a moment it will be behind me."

Yes, I suggest scale down slightly and scale down even more to make for a hand axe as well.
