In the military screen, on the (e)quipment menu you can set each dwarf's equipment individually. Highlight the dwarf, that's his assigned equipment listed on the right. Delete the one dwarf's 'individual preference melee' (enter) and add a battle axe with (W) for weapon.

Correct me if I'm wrong but.

This also works for artifact weapons and armor. Meaning you can assign your leader of a squad to have that artifact steel battle axe in your stockpile instead if some rookie nabbin it.

Yes, there are two levels. You can assign types of equipment, and they'll get the "best" they can lay their hands on of the specified type (with individual choice allowing them to select the type of weapon as well). You can also specify the specific items to use, so your commander gets the artifact axe, while everyone else just get battle axe (or individual choice), until the next useful artifact (if you ever get a second one), in which case you may want to assign that to a specific individual.
