By axes, I mean hatchets, belt axes, and tomahawks. Most of these have "blades" that are under 3.5" on the sharp side (which is what I think the legal blade length is for knives). Are they legal to carry concealed (if you can manage it)?

Looks to me you need to be hauling a tent and sleeping bag along with you as I do when I carry a hatchet back and forth across the Canadian border even though I rarely use them.
