SENKICHI Bamboo Splitter - Japanese Two-Handle Bamboo Cutter Tool

A traditional Japanese bamboo splitter that splits a length of bamboo into equal pieces in a single push. The SENKICHI Bamboo Splitter has a ring of radial blades set in a sturdy frame with two handles—center the bamboo, push down with both hands, and the blades split it cleanly into even sections from end to end. A simple, fast tool for garden fencing, crafts, basketry, and bamboo construction.
