Split larger logs more powerfully and more easily!

With a kindling cracker and a hammer, anyone can quickly make a pile of kindling.
Easy, safe and with minimal effort.

King King has become even more powerful.
A size comparison between King and Kinkura. The difference is 12cm in height, 7cm in ring diameter, and 4.7kg in weight.
The blade is 5cm longer and 12cm taller, and can accommodate firewood up to 60cm long and 18cm thick, making it ideal for making kindling from thick logs.

Collaboration with fellow creators

The body of the King is decorated with beautiful and delicate patterns.
The design was commissioned to Weta Workshop, led by New Zealand-born film creator Richard Taylor.
He has created character, costume, and prop artwork for films such as "The Lord of the Rings," "The Hobbit," and "Avatar," and has won Academy Awards for Best Makeup, Best Visual Effects, and Best Costume Design.

The design is inspired by Viking, Celtic and New Zealand traditions, and the legs in particular represent tree roots, firmly rooted in Mother Earth.
For thousands of years, humans have used wood to cook and stay warm. Respect for this proud tradition is at the heart of Kinkura products. The company's products are also stamped with the lotus flower, which has been considered sacred since ancient times and represents "rebirth."

Features of Kindling Crackers

● The design prevents hands from reaching the blade, allowing for safe operation.
● Easy to use even for women and elderly people with weak strength
● It splits quickly, reducing the time it takes to make kindling and is easy to use.
Pass the firewood through the safety ring, and while lightly supporting it with one hand, lightly hit it with the hammer until it bites into the blade. Release the support and continue splitting it with the hammer.
Once you start working with it, you'll find it so interesting that you'll want to use it more and more.
It can handle any shape of firewood, so it can easily chop up boards and scraps.

 

This is how to secure the Kindling Cracker King to a base (log).

New Zealand girl's invention

"When you want to get warm as quickly as possible, plenty of kindling helps get the wood stove lit.
And this tool is safe for mommy's fingers too!"

The Taraneki region of New Zealand is surrounded by magnificent nature.
A young 13-year-old inventor, Ella Hutchinson, invented the Kindling Cracker after worrying about her mother getting injured when she used an axe to make kindling.
The girl's free-thinking was transformed into an original kindling-making tool and released into the world in 2013. Ella was 13 years old at the time.
Since then, with the help of his father, an engineer, Kindling Cracker has grown into a big product, and is now loved all over the world and has won numerous awards.
Kindling Crackers are a patented product of Ella Hutchinson. Patent No. 6,370,306.

It is manufactured in a purpose-built facility in Australia and is constructed from durable ductile iron specially formulated for this product.
Please call me by the nickname "Kinkura."

A Kinkura apron that can also be used for carrying firewood

Kinkura is not just a tool for making kindling.
The sound and feeling of firewood splitting with a single blow is a great toy that can help relieve everyday stress.
It starts with the right posture.

Tightening the strings of your apron will put strength into your abdomen, making your work more efficient.
The handle on the back is moderately rounded and cushioned, making it easy to grasp the edge and lift. It also has a log carry function.

Kinkura's Partner

The "FIRESIDE Triker" hammer for the Kinkura is a single-ended hammer with a cutting edge. Compared to the double-ended type, it is smoother to switch from the take-back to the down swing and has better operability.
There are three head weights available: 600g, 800g, and 1000g, so anyone from women and children to men can choose one that suits their physical ability.
