A multi-folding axe includes a head and a handle. The head has a blade at one end. The handle has a base and an extension. The extension is rotatably attached to the head at a first axis. The base is rotatably attached to the extension at a second axis parallel to the first axis. The handle is substantially perpendicular to the head with respect to the blade when unfolded. The extension is substantially in line with and extending away from the base when unfolded. The blade folds into the extension by rotating the head in one direction about the first axis with respect to the extension. The extension and folded blade fold into the base by rotating the extension and folded blade in the one direction about the second axis. The blade is sheathed and secured by the extension and base when folded into the extension and base.

The present disclosure describes various articles of manufacture configured for use as throwing axes and hatchets with, in some embodiments, concave blade designs that improve the ability of a thrown axe to remain embedded in a target.
