Cutting edge of web portion is defined as intersection of a lower bevelled face thereof with the upper web face.

Lower rib portions extending downwardly from lower web face and having leading ends with inclined rib leading faces extending rearwardly from and being coplanar with lower bevelled face. Upper and lower rib portions are both generally staggered relative to each other along the blade adajcent upper and lower rib portions so that outer portions of rib portions overlap each other to strengthen blade. Inclined lower bevelled face tends to direct shearing damage to stump of tree and away from butt of tree thus reducing losses resulting from splitting of tree.
