I have a barbarian which looks like they'll be strong enough to wield a two-handed axe in one hand. Up to this point I've been using Two-handed Axe skill as I've been wielding it with two hands.

In general, do you use the one handed skill when wielding a two-handed weapon with one hand, or use the two-handed skill?

If you're using an axe that usually requires two hands with one hand, you use the (one-handed) Axe skill (which defaults to Two-Handed Ax/Mace -3).

Same for Two-Handed Swords used one-handed (use one-handed Broadsword skill).

Details are in the box on page 220 of GURPS Martial Arts.
