Abstract: A pelvic bone splitting tool provides a number of features to assist a hunter in field dressing game, such as deer. The tool or splitter may include a lower or grip handle formed as a unitary piece with an upper jaw. The grip handle includes finger-receiving indentations, and the upper jaw may include a cutting blade. The tool may further include an upper or palm handle formed as a unitary piece with a lower jaw, and the palm handle and the lower jaw may be joined together by an angled connecting piece, and the handles pivot relative to once another about a central pivot. The lower jaw includes a splitting blade, which may be removable from the tool. Alternatively, the upper handle/lower jaw combination and lower handle/upper jaw combination may be nearly mirror images of one another. These combinations are joined together at a rotating pivot which preferably forms a smoothly rotating bearing.
