That seems reasonable. And the tools with a blade at the same kind of angle to the haft are the adze (treated as a hatchet at -2 to hit) and the hoe (much lighter than any "equivalent" weapon on its table, but comparable to a small axe -2 to hit -1 damage). Presumably anything weaponized would be balanced well enough not to take a to hit penalty, so using the statistics for an Axe or Two Handed Axe of similar weight seems precedented too.
