The Fire Axe is the default 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, for humiliation purposes, or in countering a nearby enemy Pyro. The critical hit animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing. On a successful crit, the swing animation is a swift vertical up to down swing.
