Handaxes in Baldur's Gate 3 are pieces of equipment that are used to inflict damage against hostile characters such as Enemies and Bosses. Handaxes are Light Simple Weapons in BG3 that can be one-handed, dealing 1-6 Damage without enchantments. Handaxes can be Thrown, dealing the same damage they would when used for a melee attack. They have a melee range of 1.5m, and they deal Slashing Damage.
Many Handaxes have unique properties, so you should read carefully what these do, and many also have Weapon Actions that can only be used if you are Proficient with Handaxes in BG3. These Weapon Actions include Lacerate.

Anonymoussad that there are so few hand axes, dual wielding axe and dagger would be pretty dope.
