Abstract
A compact 2-piece axe comprises a first piece which is used as a hatchet, and with the connection of a second piece, which forms a handle extension, transforms the first piece, the hatchet, into an axe. The 2-piece axe of the invention when separated into the 2-pieces can be packed compactly, while still providing an axe which can be operated in two different axe modes, the first piece alone as a hatchet or the first piece with the handle extension attached as an axe. The axe of the invention can be and easily transformed from one axe mode to the other axe mode.
