I guess it was done 'because he could' (judging by the handle size).

It seems that it's a bit difficult to locate a retailer. The ones that I have been able to find have limited stock. It would be nice to find a retailer that stocks more of their products.
Here's one in the UK:

That's like a shipbuilders axe or the like. I find it hard to believe it weight 12 kg head alone though, it looks quite thin

Was just thinking that maybe Paul Bunyan could use it, he was a mighty feller!
