This looks like a pickaroon, a tool used in the timber industry.
Google it and you'll see.

A brick masons hammer might be easier too work with than a hatchet. Larry

I have one of the hatchets, but it was my grandfather's and it is still handled and tight, so no on that.
But this?

I picked up a brick masons hammer Saturday I've already done a bit of reshaping. I was originally going to round the hammer head, but I think I will remove it and about an inch more below it then curve
the remaining part up. Then round over the entire handle.

Hookaroon/pickaroon been a lot of them on ytube. All start with an axe and you grind or cutaway anything that doesn't look like a hookaroon. Have a rather large tree that is dying in stages,Usually leaving me with the cleanup job. usually tie a rope to the larger pieces and haul them away to the burn pile. So now can get the smaller pieces. So bought a "Council Tools" hookaroon. Smaller pieces go in the bucket on my front end loader,and on to the burn pile. Frank

I used what was called a vintage roofing axe. Got the handle from the yard implement section at Lowes and had a local woodworker taper it and mount the head. Didn't come out quite as nice as the OPs but looks pretty good. I don't need it (yet) but would not attempt to board a plane with it for fear of confiscation.
