I would also call this axe more decorative then weapon grade ,but what is the purpose of the hidden spike if the axe is just a wall hanger? many weapon grade axe or mace have hidden spikes also.The axe shown is not much of a weapon but maybe it was?

Hidden spike exist on both real arms & tourist items/wall hangers.

The make a talking point perhaps helped the initial sale?
