Cool looking? Absolutely. Useful? Not really. Spring in a chopping tool is dangerous to the user. Axes are designed to use their weight to dig into whatever you're chopping. This design removes most of the weight. Rebar is not good metal for holding an edge. Not enough carbon. The handle looks very uncomfortable even without the risk of pinching, but there's definitely risk of pinching.

I would never use this unless I had zero other options, but I would definitely stick it up as a wallhanger because imo it looks cool.
