But realistically (since that seems to be what you're arguing from), he's not learning how to fight with an axe.

He his definately not learning how to fight with an axe, I agree with this. But still, I'm sure a lumberjack pressed into a fight with an axe in hand, would probably be able to deliver more accurate blows than someone like me who almost never wields one, no ? Maybe by letting them attack at their professional skill-4 instead of DX-4 to attack but prevent them to parry with it (even though an axe is an unbalanced weapon) ?
