Solid Forged Splitting Wedge

The Westward 20C891 is a solid forged steel wedge built for splitting firewood. Its chamfered edge drives cleanly into both large and small logs. The 4 lb head weight delivers strong driving force with each hammer strike. It suits anyone processing wood by hand.

8 1/2 IN Length and 4 LB Head

The wedge measures 8 1/2 in overall with a cutting edge of 2 3/32 in. That geometry handles a wide range of log diameters without binding. Very knotty or oversized rounds may resist a single wedge and require multiple tools. The forged steel holds its shape under heavy impact.

No Bundled Accessories Included

The product ships as a single wedge with no handle, sheath or striking tool. You must supply your own sledge or maul to drive it. Adding a quality hammer completes the splitting system. No software or mounting hardware is involved.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 1/2 in forged steel wedge work with my existing sledgehammer?

The solid forged steel wedge is designed to be struck with a heavy hammer or maul; its chamfered edge and 4 lb mass accept repeated blows from standard striking tools without deforming.

How can I confirm the wedge is performing correctly after first use?

A clean split along the log grain and an undamaged chamfered edge after driving the wedge indicate it is working as intended.

Does the package include a striking tool or only the wedge itself?

The box contains the 8 1/2 in solid forged splitting wedge only; a sledgehammer or maul must be supplied separately.
