Sotz is no longer in business..however..Northern Tool has a similar item.. does not look like the 33degree angle the sotz has on its face, is a little lighter as well

Truper Axes — 12-Lb. Splitting Maul w/Steel Handle | Logging Accessories | Northern Tool + Equipment

the Sotz MM is heavy at 15 pounds, but well balanced, and once you get the rythm of the swing down, it is a pleasure to use, you really don't have to kill yourself with it, just learn to use the "beef" of it, to do the job.

I did pick up a gas splitter last year for a song, all in all, I don't think that is a time saver, and you still are muckling the big chunks around, so still a workout.
Still haul out the Sotz to get the real big peices I get to a managable size.
