I would like to see your 3rd and 4th photos retaken closer up with all the wood debris cleared away. Also would like to see the block end from the opposite side taken lower to show the failure from the main frame. Also would like to see what the back side of the push block looks like. You say it is cast steel but I wonder if it may actually be a forged part. Many automotive front steering knuckles, in example the part the front wheel drive bearings set in, are forging rather then castings most people believe them to be. I have attached a link to a gentleman on another forum who built a splitter to mount on his mini-excavator. I feel he has an excellent design of his splitting knife as just a small part of the knife extends pass the gussets; last photo. This helps to avoid deformation of the initial split knife. I also feel that the stationary knife, with a moving push block is the best design of a splitter. However, that design is not conducive of a splitter that can be flipped to the vertical orientation.
