Durin’s Axe is a legendary masterwork item, which means you can’t carry it with another masterwork item.

The good news is that you can put the pickaxe on a weapon stand, allowing you to place it in your base until you need it.

His axe is actually a pickaxe, which you can use to destroy the cursed doors, blocking your way into new sections of Moria.

You’ll need this axe if you want to progress through the story.
