This is a somewhat short tutorial on how to make a simple game-friendly axe in blender. Sorry if this did not help you.
Don’t understand? be sure to ask questions in the comment section below. Either me or other people will be more than welcome to help you(if someone asks a question that may be considered ‘dumb’ please be nice and answer anways or don’t answer at all)

What is Normal mapping?
In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or “Dot3 bump mapping”, is a technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents – an implementation of bump mapping. It is used to add details without using more polygons. A common use of this technique is to greatly enhance the appearance and details of a low polygon model by generating a normal map from a high polygon model or height map.
What is UV Unwrapping?
UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of making a 2D image representation of a 3D model’s surface.
