Salaams drac2k ~ I think so ...I have seen Dervish pictures with almost the entire range of weapons including axes etc... Qajari period...and later.
For a broad outline see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dervish .
The list of pictures shows various Dervishes in different garb...some with axes etc and one which is named as a Dervish Sword see

See here Jewish dervishes Agha-Jaan Darvish and his brother, patriarchs of the Darvish family. Tehran, Iran, c.1922;
