ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a log splitting sledge. The sledge has a cutting blade projecting from a lower face of the head of the sledge. One face of the blade is integral with a side face of the head and extends at an angle of about 12 degrees of the handle. The angle is a result of either a bend in the handle or the handle being mounted in the head at a non 90 degree angle. The sledge is first used to drive one or more wedges in a log, partially splitting the log. The head of the sledge is then forced down into the partially split log, the log standing on end and the handle protruding upwardly. Then the sledge handle is moved through an arc having the blade edge as a pivot line to complete the splitting of the log. If any slivers are holding the split portions together, the sledge can be then used as a vertical axe with the front cutting edge slicing through the slivers.
