ABSTRACT:
A wedge structure for log splitters is disclosed which provides a relatively thin, elongated knife at the forward end. Extending back from the knife is a first spreader providing side walls which diverge at a substantial angle. Extending rearwardly from the first spreader is a second spreader, again providing walls which diverge at a relatively large angle which is substantially greater than the angle of divergence of the first spreader. The two spreaders have a height less than the height of the knife. Secured to the upper edge of the two spreaders is a triangle-shaped plate providing diverging edges which extend laterally beyond the side edges of the spreaders to resist lifting of a log being split. The plate also ties together the upper sides of the two spreaders.
