Of these, the Bloodstorm Blade is by far the best, and the only one that really fits your theme.   Alternatively, you can use magic to accomplish this - the Whirling Blade spell (Spell Compendium) is amazing and quite cheap (it's a 2nd level spell), assuming you're using a slashing weapon. I use it quite often.   Hell, the art for the Bloodstorm Blade and for Whirling Blade even depict dwarves armed with axes, so there's that.   You should also see the Shopping List link in my signature.

It's kind of the "I don't really want to invest anything in this" option, being cheap, nonmagical, and only requiring proficiency with martial weapons.
