So got the axe and wasn't very happy with it. It wasn't seated very deep, the top was cracked all around by the wedge, the bottom opening of the head came to a sharp (cracked) twisted point at the front, and the back by the poll looked like it had a fold mark from a piss poor forging job. Exhchanged it and the new one is great, none of those issues. Looks much closer to the ones I've seen reviews on online. Will take pics soon but seems super comfortable.
