Doing a quick search, I see multiple companies that say that they hand-make axeheads. Now, it's probably cheaper to get them secondhand, but I don't think that the supply of new ones will run dry, as a business making handmade axeheads probably doesn't see a lot of economy of scale.

Looking at the brands they're selling:
Gränsfors Bruk, Sweden.
Snow & Nealley, Maine, US.
Hults Bruk, Sweden.
Lehmans, US. "The letter is the last initial of blacksmith who tempered the axe.", says that the axe is "Maine made", the handle is made by "an Amish family a few miles from our store", that the steel comes "from New York", but doesn't explicitly say where the blacksmith is.
I was refering to traditional Finnish vintage axes specifically - not hand made ones broadly. Billnäs, Kellokoski and Fiskars for example. Those are no longer being made.
