Is the double blade 3.5 pounds or is the entire axe 3.5 pounds? What is the total weight of the axe?

The axe head itself is 3.5 lbs. I do not know the total weight of the axe though.

Can the red enamel be removed?

I'm guessing you could remove the red paint with a wire wheel mounted on a drill or a bench.
