Badass Ethnic Weapon: Pendulum Axe

The pendulum axe stems from the demented minds of Riotminds, who made the Trudvang RPG - which I am converting to GURPS.

It is an "axe" where the axe-head has been rotated 90 degrees and placed on the end of the shaft. Like so:

The edge is sharpened and the ends of the "arc" are pointed. So I'm thinking maybe thr+2 cut, sw+1 imp (may get stuck), Parry 0 and can hook. Weight 5 lbs., ST 11 and costs... more than an axe? $100? Something like this.

And again, this is obviously a "rule of cool" weapon.

ETA: I suppose it's kind of like a pick with the top of the head sharpened.
