Does anybody know if Bethesda fixed these so they use your two handed skill? I'm using a Two handed focused character, and I really want to use these.

The Ebony Blade issue seems intentional. They wanted it's strength to be in the enchantment, not the weapon itself.

Headsmen's Axe I think was fixed. It was mentioned in the 1.5 notes, something about using the right perk now I think?

OK then. The Ebony Blade still bugs me, but I'll deal with it. Guess that's the thread, then.

I don't agree with that assessment of the Ebony Blade. But that one particular weapon aside, Beth seems to be completely ignoring the weapons with bugged upgrade potential.

Well, not being able to upgrade the Ebony blade could be making up for the unlimited drain health enchantment it can get.

It's bugged don't feed us some bull crap it was intentional without a source.

_{I would like to see the Headman's Axe upgradeable for sure. That is the best looking Axe}

I though it was a bug too until I opened its template with the CK.

The way it works (not only the attributes but also its DPS, which is typical of a one handed weapon) makes me think it was intentional. There's also a different ebony blade in the test cell: also that one has the same characteristics despite a different enchantment.

So, it was either intentional or whoever did that was seriously drunk!

With as many broken weapons and armor sets that are in Skyrim I betting its just one of many bugs, I too have opened it with the creation kit and don't see any indication that supports your clam. Its broken hands down, why would a two handed sword use the one handed perk tree?
