Depending upon what axe it is, when made, by whom etc.....generrally yes the steel in axeheads is tempered. If it is blue anywhere on the sharpened edge then that is a sign that someone has used a high speed dry grinding wheel. This method of sharpening draws the temper from the metal thus meaning the axe wont hold an edge. Put up a pic if ya want and Ill see what its like. Nothing wrong with tarantulas mate. They keep the flies down in summer.
