you're on crack. it's called a toy. and no...it's a tacticool wacky thingy made by a company in the US. it's too light to be useful for anything other than chopping kidling to make a fire. it's almost funny how it was designed to be light yet a weapon needs to be heavy.
try hefting a weapons-designed axe built/designed in the time period when they were actually intended to be useful as a weapon. I bet you need two hands just to pick it up. -

Genuine question, why?
You should be able to supply just as much energy into a lighter weapon within a certain range, no? All the energy is coming from your arm after all. -

Probably not now. I need to get back into the gym.
I was going to mention if it was heavy or not. it clearly looks like a wall prop as new looking as it is. it's polished too much, but you could still do damage to someone breaking into your house. shit I could do damage with a fucking wall clock if someone broke in and pissed me off. -

genuine answer...why to what?
energy-on-target delivered from a weapon in super-simplified measurement is a factor of mass of weapon and velocity. applicable example...get two hammers. one, a small ball-peen one of a few ounces...the other a mini-sledge of about two pounds. find a wall stud in drywall and wack it as hard as you can with both hammers. regardless of the much higher velocity the ball-peen is capable of, the mini-sledge has the potential to take a chunk out of the 2x4 whereas the ball-peen will just rip through the drywall, at best. i wont even get into firearms ballistics where the identical firearms can deliver several orders of magnitude difference in on-target energy depending on the weight of the bullet...either lighter/faster being more energy...or heavier/slower being more energy, depending on the particular application. again...oversimplification since a super-fast/very light bullet (.22-250) isnt going to do jack or shit to, for example, a large bear, in comparison to a super-slow/super-heavy bullet (say....45-70) that is going to knock the bear on its ass, when the on-paper energy numbers are almost identical.
the trend, starting shortly after WW-I is to bitch-ify society and turn everyone into blithering faggots.
ive hefted swords made in the middle ages and could barely lift them. modern soldiers sure to holy merry fuck couldnt drag one around in a scabbard all day...much less mount a horse...much, much less swing them around one-handed, or even two-handed in a manner that would kill a human opponent with any degree of certainty.
the same applies to firearms. antique black-powder rifles had barrels of 40" or 50" and could weigh 15 pounds or so...AND the mother fuckers had to carry all their shit on their own two feet. nowadays these fluffy bastards get hauled around in airplanes and APCs and if the rifles weight more than 7lbs or are longer than 12" barrels its a fucking tragedy. when modern firearms propellants were discovered back in the late 1800s the resulting firearms and calibers created were designed to be of the size that an average soldier could carry the ammo for, and fire the rounds from. that means the majority of soldiers were carrying a firearm that was just barely at the limits of their recoil and weight tolerances, while a minority of soldiers found the firearm too heavy and excessive in recoil, and another minority found the firearms easily controllable and light weight. in the US this was the .30-06 round. european calibers were of similar (give or take) caliber and energy levels.
in WW-II they decided .30-06 was too much recoil, the rifles were too heavy, and the ammo weighed too much to lug around. that is where the 7.62x51 came into existence. 7.62x51 was essentially the same thing as a .30-06 except with a somewhat shorter case, a few hundred feet-per-second less velocity, but the same/similar bullet. a few years later they decided even 7.62x51 was entirely too heavy and burdensome to the whiny little snowflakes...resulting in the...TADAAAAA...5.56x45 round. the 5.56x45 is whats known as a varmint round, meaning its designed to kill nothing larger than small furry animals, with the terminal ballistics ability to humanely take nothing larger than a racoon. and that is not an exaggeration. there are states that literally ban this caliber from hunting deer or anything larger.
all throughout society everything is being made lighter to coddle the soft and juicy little bitches who instead of hardening themselves to adversity theyd rather make everything else soft and juicy to match their own weakness. -

2017-07-23 at 2:07 AM UTCtwo handed axes arent meant for use as a weapon (single-bit axes at least). the weight of the head was meant to facilitate the splitting of wood. axes used as weapons were more tomahawkish in nature, and their weight would have been distributed to the head of the axe. dried hardwood that the handle is made from is very light

the only thing you know about two handed axes is what happens when your pimp axes you two times and you get two black eyes because you didnt listen.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I keep talking to my counselor about it, but they all think it's a bad phase and that it will pass. -
