I'm not sure if this is permitted but I'd like to know what this axe is.
If not allowed please delete or I will if a brother calls me out.
Thank you.

Looks like a Russian topor pattern to me.

Thanks Hickory. I liked the shape of the head and thought I might try to get one but no way. I'm not looking for a custom. I have a GB small forest and not digging the need for two hands. Want more of a one hander.

This pattern and similar patterns can be had on Ebay, but of course you'd be buying it from someone in Russia or other country in that region.

While not the same head shape, I'm thinking about going with a Flying Fox.

Hickory n steel is absolutely right.
To expand on it a bit: "topor" simply means "axe" in Russian.
This pattern is called(in USSR's Standards)a "Б"(B in English)-type,it could be Б2,or -1 to -4,depending on weight.
What makes it that is the straight cutting edge,the curved or radiused ones are "A" series.

This is a thin-bladed joiner's axe,it's for construction/cabin-building/cabinet-making and related woodwork.

It has Nothing whatever in common with axes you mention,GB,CT and all that.
This is a paring tool,not a chopping one.
And the quality will different Wildly.
I think you've already talked yourself out of it-that's wise.You don't want it.

Many thanks brother. I guess I just wanted a camp/pack axe and I liked the shape of it.
