Looking at this item, it is not the edge that is inserted, and the whole axe is of a steel construction, including the shaft. The precise way this is executed and the overall quality of the item suggest a smith showing skills, rather than trying to save on material, at least to my eye. I wonder if any portion of this blade is wootz.
