There's really no difference. An axe is an axe at the end of the day, which is any they were so popular to carry around. Tool that can double up as a perfectly fine weapon? Yeah there's a lot of appeal there and would like up perfectly with someone playing a common soldier for example that maybe can't afford a more expensive weapon.
I mean you could have a specially crafted axe for fighting with a better point of balance with the head made of steel, and a nice tough wood (Hickory is tough, but it's not native to Eorzea). But an axe is an axe. It's a simple yet highly effective weapon that actually takes as much skill as a sword to use well.
