I'd like to give it a try, i split quite a lot of wood and I can see this saving time on some of it, I'd not want it as my only splitting maul but to be able to use it for the rounds that it works on might save lots of time and back ache, it's 1 strike as opposed to 3.

i saw one of those on a facebook axe group last year sometime. I think the guy who made it was a bored welder at work and did it for a giggle.
The cross blades are used on firewood processors that use hyrdaulics to push the blade through a log, so the theory is sound enough. The trouble is that a felling axe doesn't have much weight to it so you would have to swing very hard to make it go through a log of any substance
