An Axe?

I found an axe in the brickmaker's village, it has no information and I can't wield it, but I can equip it. What the Snarf!?

On another note: is it a viable strategy to put no points in steel sword and just use other steel weapons?

Basically, you can wield and fight with weapons other than the main steel & silver swords, but you can you any of the Witcher styles (strong, fast, group) or special attacks (which you get later through skill upgrades, eg. incineration) with them.

As a result, no, it is not a viable strategy. It is allowable, if you really want to play the game in a self-enforced "hard mode", but the game (and the game world) is designed around you being different from everyone else, not the same.

Any practical use

So are axes, daggers and flailes of any practical use? I have an axe and dagger, but I never use them.

Nope, not really. Torches are sometimes useful, but I only picked up extra weapons to sell them.

Other weapons are handy insofar as you have two slots where you can keep weapons you find, which allows you to sell them later for money
