Description:

The focus of this patent is on the shape of the spur. The inner face is made concave to minimize the wedging action, while the profile of the cutting edge is an elongated slope. The claim is that the overal configuration lessens resistance in the cut, acts as a better guide in the cut, and adds to the working life of the spur.
