Abstract
One embodiment for splitting logs is described as including a first handle; a second handle; a unitary body wedge comprising a cutting wedge coupled to the first handle and a splitting wedge coupled to the second handle, wherein the first handle and the second handle are co-aligned along an axis of the log splitting tool when the cutting wedge and the splitting wedge form the unitary body wedge. As a user swings the log splitting tool in an overhead arc, driving the unitary body wedge into a log that is to be split, a cutting edge of the cutting wedge is driven downward into the log. The user spreads the first and second handles apart in opposing directions so that leverage created by the length of the first and second handles force the cutting wedge and the splitting wedge to separate apart from each other, causing the log to split.
