I tend to favor swords or spears and when desperate, thrown rocks or other items.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Axe. I pretty much always play a dwarf, so steel axes happen frequently enough, but not too much so that they are a still a pleasant surprise.

As with most games it depends on my choice of Roled played character.
In DF adventure, however, its usually spear/halbred/mace.  Forget warhammers/mauls.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I normall go with swords but axes are a favorite when I play a dwarf, though I also use spears quite a lot as well. Also, no matter what my main melee skill I use throwing like crazy, so dead ravens and tiny knives can also fall under this section.

I usually just go with the classic longsword. Not exactly unique, but there's a reason longswords are common, after all.

Axe. Dismemberment is fun, and axes are the stuff of badassery when it comes to Dwarven martial trances. And the resulting "spider-webs" of blood from flying body parts are highly amusing.  :P

If I get a crappy axe (or just can't find a good one) I tend to go with coffins.
