Posted: April 23, 2025 | Last updated: July 10, 2025 In this video, I modify a $25 axe transforming it into a unique tool. I forge a double bit from an old hammer and weld it onto the axe head.

Some hatchets are formed from a single piece of steel, such as this Estwing. The bit is what you call the sharp edge of the tool, so a double-bit axe would be sharp on both ends.
