Can anyone put a date on this Axe?

[OutBack Duo]

I found this near the Oregon Trail in Kansas. I am thinking it should be easy to date with the split on the back of it, I have never seen one like this before.

Thanks!

Ax heads are made by folding steel over...the reason for the split...

i agree...bad weld...positive side...it is hand made.

heat, hammer and anvil...

or the split happened the same way as the one on my ax when i was a kid,
by using the back of the ax head to drive a splitting wedge when its not made for that.

Tell the truth-

you were never a kid!

because i was born really young!
