Why exactly does common sense tell you these things? Lances are generally tipped and pickaxe heads are certainly made of metal (as much so as a regular axe).

Your common sense and mine don't jive.

With respect to the zombie's axe, maybe the designers considered it an iron-headed axe rather "steel," as it looks rather dark/black. It's also possible that's an omission in the game or the posted list.
