'''Death's Axe''' is the weapon wielded by the [[Abraham Van Brunt|Headless Horseman]]. Death's Axe was given to him by [[Moloch]] via a Redcoat soldier. The broadax's blade can heat up to five-hundred degrees in order to cauterize the flesh of whomever it wounds.

==History==
{{Stub}}
The exact history of this weapon, including the time and location where it was forged, is unknown, but when Abraham Van Brunt became the Horseman of Death, it is given to him by a Hessian soldier.{{ERef|Necromancer}} He used it to deadly effect, either decapitating his victims or fatally injuring them, either on foot or on horseback.{{ERef|The Midnight Ride}} Two-hundred-fifty years later, when the horseman was resurrected by Moloch, the weapon was seen again in his possession when he was at [[Fox Creek Stables]] with the murder of Sheriff [[August Corbin]].{{ERef|Pilot}}

It continued to be a part of his arsenal until it was destroyed by the [[Sword of Methuselah]].{{ERef|The Akeda}} It was later reforged by the aid of demons and a ritual.{{ERef|Paradise Lost}}

After being released from [[Pandora's Box]], Abraham Van Brunt appears in a much newer outfit with metal gloves and the appearance of the broadax was significantly altered to having two large blades on top and two smaller blades under the handle.{{ERef|Ragnarok}}

It is revealed in Season 4 that the axe itself is the Totem of Death. It can draw the power of the undead and use it to restore the Horseman's power if he is fatally injured in a supernatural sense. It was used to heal Abraham Van Brunt after he was injured by the magical effects of the [[Philosopher's Stone]].
