Abstract
A knife blade clamp for a Carthage-Norman type of log chipper and having a substantially right triangular cross-sectional contour having an upper face, back face and hypotenuse surface, is provided with a series of slots on its back face. The slots communicate between an elongated depression on the back face and the hypotenune surface. By virtue of the series of slots, there is less accumulation of fine dust adjacent the back face which would thwart the removability of the associated knife for servicing.
