Bound Hand Axe is a weapon in Dark Souls 2. Bound Hand Axe is a versatile axe, not too heavy, making it easy to wield. Infusing this Axe with Bleed allows it to have more lethality.
An axe with an unusual design. Found in the Undead Purgatory. The chains and spikes wrapped around the axe cause bleeding, but weaken the axe's effectiveness when slashing.
Accessories that are added to a weapon for the sole purpose of tormenting foes can often detract from the weapon's natural effectiveness.

I find it amusing how it's a rare weapon that is only purchased from the ghost of a chancellor when, realistically, it's just the result of some idiot who wrapped barbed wire around an axe.
