It would seem that goodwill between Skyrim developer Bethesda and Mojang's Notch continues despite recent tensions with Bethesda's publishing company. While not directly confirmed, it is suspected that the Notched Pickaxe (seen above) is a quiet homage to the indie developer. The Bethesda team are known to be avid Minecraft fans, playing the game in their spare time, even during development of Skyrim. Of note, the pickaxe even resembles the titular item from Minecraft in its design, although with a much higher-resolution texture pack. Does this mean a similar inclusion of a Skyrim-themed easter egg may pop up in future Minecraft updates? Only time will tell!
I can't say for certain that this isn't just a coincidence. At the same time though, mojang did FINALLY add in dragons awfully close to the skyrim release.

Skyrim just came out 5 days ago and it's 'old news'?
Wow.
Also, when you disenchant the Skyrim items, you get the "Notched Pickaxe" enchanting effect.

Haven't heard back from him.
On an unrelated note:
The Elder scrolls: Minecraftia anyone?
Oh, and notch should put a skyrim reference in Scrolls when it's released.
But 14 Size Black Arial Font is so boring.
With the use of debug-console and spawning items/objects, this so called "Notched Pickaxe" has proven to be a Skyrim-first.
Now stop being butthurt, and move the **** on bitches.
