When you think about how long the axe has been around, it’s really amazing that no one has thought of this before – at least that I’m aware of. This invention makes the axe twice as effective and efficient at chopping wood.
Instructables member KH4 has reinvented the axe, but should it be called the cross-bladed axe or the crossed-blade axe? I have no idea.
All I know is he had the bright idea to cut an axe blade in half, then he welded the pieces to each side of another axe blade. So now when he chops wood, it splits into four pieces instead of just two. That makes for a much easier work day. It’s genius.
