A bit of a curious question regarding whats is possible in regards to modern hatchet manufacture.
Would it be possible to make a Tomahawk with a typical friction fit handle BUT also have the head have a pole hole on the lateral side so that it could be turned ( quickly ) into an Adze???
Its more a question of if its possible with modern forging techniques? I know you can jury rig a Hatchet blade to a crooked piece of wood to form an Adze.
Doable? Or too much material removed from the head to deal with the pressures of striking and cutting????????
