No. 351
If you only replaced the handle and you actually got the head of it fixed (as in you had the pieces forged back together), then one could argue that it's still the same axe. But if you got a new head placed on the not-the-original handle, then it's now 2 for 2 on the "Not the Same Axe" scoreboard.
But then you have to consider the issue of the reanimated BODY having a NEW HEAD, implying that this is not the same head you lopped off. Unless the previous head's mind/brain was transferred elsewhere or absolutely destroyed and the body's original mind/brain was placed in the new head, you've got a bit of an issue here. Heck, you've STILL got an issue if you REPLACED the axe head instead of having the pieces reforged. If you had it reforged, he'd recognize it. But if you replaced it, then he'd only say that if he was crazy or if you bought a similar axe head.
And what if the new head came with its own mind/brain? What then? Well, maybe there's just some weird shit going on. Or maybe the head is just loopy and has weird fantasies about getting killed by decapitation and happened to imagine an axe similar to yours screaming towards his neck at some point.
Or MAYBE the guy you broke the handle on isn't the first person you slew, and New Head here recognizes the blade, PROVIDED you had it reforged instead of replaced.
And if you didn't slay New Head before? Well again, he's either crazy, there's weird shit going down, or there's something up with the axe head. If you never killed New Head, then there's no way he'd recognize that axe blade if it was reforged.
But what if you had it replaced? Well, I guess your "new" axe head was actually a "used" axe head, and McMillan & Sons Ax Mart ripped you off because they're saving up for a lowercase "e" to put in the store name.
Riddle solved. Not insane. Still don't know what this awful secret of yours is.
