The Fiskers axes are pretty decent but they don’t have the huge wedge shaped head. And of course, this is a knock off so they probably used the cheapest material they could find.
Indeed, that’s a proper maul that you have. That thing in OPs pic is a weird hybrid axe/maul thing that won’t do either well. It’d probably shatter if you tried to hit it.
