Chinese traditional axe?

[Jared]

Is anyone familiar with this axe construction in this video? It looks like something that existed before forging eyes in the head, but the confusing part is why there is a long piece of wood protruding out the back.

It looks to me that it can be taken apart and used as a adze or scraper?

3:50 - 4:00 If you freeze the video you can clearly see how a metal blade is attached to the long protruding wood.

Interesting, it looks almost like a Mesolithic axe or adze.
