Nah, dont buy those unless you just want a wallhanger.
I've been a medieval weapons guy for 35+ years and have over 300 various weapons scattered across my basement. So I think I know a little bit about this, having bought similar products before (and regretted it).
If you want functional:

or

or
https://www.kultofathena.com/product/cold-steel-viking-hand-axe/ (https://www.kultofathena.com/product/cold-steel-viking-hand-axe/)
(I have 2 of these myself)
or something similar.
 
As a general rule, the more crap hanging around it or from it, the worse it's gonna be. Stay away from "movie replicas" unless they're made by a reputable bladesmiths (example:

I love Half Face Blades tomahawks.  The problem is you need to know when they are coming as he only does small small batches and you need to make sure your credit app is done to afford them.  :o
