Ever seen an axe head like this?

This is where our speculations become a question of probability. Well we would simply have to have more background information. That said, with what information we do have, unless somebody is holding back now, a look at the thinness of the blade, an indication of the general work this axe was subjected too, the probability speaks for itself. For the rest I am interested enough to consider any wild speculation even to the point of gorillas jumping up and down, but lets not waste time with declarative statements of what the cause is.
 
The declarative statement is-- that the cause is not because of chopping or splitting hard or dense wood. It is true that hard or dense wood can dull, roll an edge, or chip an edge. The problem with the axe in question is none of the above. That only leaves two possibilities-1) poor construction or 2) mistreatment of the axe. In this case, I would seriously doubt #2 as the cause.
 
I'd say that curve looks a lot like a carving axe curve. Done to reduce the corners from digging in
