Abstract
A cutting insert for a rock drill bit having a ridge formed on a cutting face that splits extrudate formed during drilling thereby reducing the mechanical specific energy that may be expended to move the extrudate across the cutting face. The cutting insert may have a cutting edge which forms the extrudate during drilling and a face having two opposing, generally symmetrical, concave regions that define an elongated ridge therebetween. The ridge may extend across a substantial portion of the face.
