Can you have more than one golden axe in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

If I get the golden axe and then sell or give it away, is it possible to get another one?

Would I just have to settle with the regular or silver axe after losing my original golden one?

Golden tools can only be obtained once per character. Reese will tell you as much when you're about to sell one to Re-Tail. You'll have to get someone else to give you theirs.

New Leaf has some item duplication glitches, so it might not be hard to find an extra in any case.

It is impossible to earn another golden tool legitimately, however you can duplicate a friend's or persuade a friend to give you their's.
