The Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter is sturdy device made entirely out of cast iron in a foundry in Australia. It is incredibly simple and uses the familiar wedge shape blade that splits the log with the grain of the wood. This design forces the wood into a wedge, which is the exact opposite of how the blade of an axe works, which helps to reduce the amount of force you need to exert into it in order to split the same amount of wood as you would swinging an axe.

A little about the creator:
While the product is quite simple, the more interesting part is where the idea came from that got the whole thing made. A fourteen year old teenage girl from Australia, was watching her mom carefully wielding a small axe in an attempt to make kindling for a fire out of a recently chopped log. As she watched her mom getting closer and closer to her fingers as she whacked away with the axe, she was thinking and before long she came up with a prototype that eventually became the Kindling Cracker Firewood Kindling Splitter.
