Beautiful work. I like the fact tho poll is hardened. Nice blade profile.
 
So far this is my favorite of all the axes I've seen you post here. It can fit in with the Viking Era, and the American Frontier.

Good stuff.
 
Nice Hatchet Kentucky, You did a Beautiful job on this one. I really like the Head & Handle design "Hatchet Perfection" !
