[Firewood Splitting] Safe for family camping! The overwhelming sharpness of the wedge reflects the artisans' skill.
Splitting firewood before campfires and camping meals can be fun, but safety is also a concern during family camping... That's when I discovered a compact firewood splitting tool that ensures peace of mind. It seems like I can enjoy splitting firewood with a superbly sharp wedge crafted by artisans from Tsubame-Sanjō.
A log splitting item that ensures safety even for family camping
One of the tedious tasks when camping or having a bonfire is "log splitting." It’s hard labor and tools like axes come with a risk of injury, making safety a concern for families with children… What I found is a one-handed, shaped log splitting wedge called "SHINGA."
This exceptional item was created by artisans in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture. You simply insert it into the crack of the log and give it a light tap with a hammer, and it splits seamlessly. It requires no strength and is safe, so even those who struggle with log splitting can enjoy it.

Just a light tap, one hand is fine
It is a compact size that can be handled with one hand, and it bites into the firewood with just a light tap of a hammer, requiring no great strength or special skills. The wedge is not a cutting tool and does not use sharp edges, making it an item that can be safely used by children. With this, it seems we can respond to the voices of children saying they want to "give it a try" at camp.
Efficient dedicated design
The secret to being able to split firewood with light force lies in the efficient dedicated design. It firmly transmits the power of the hammer to the firewood with a wide striking surface, and the triangular shape allows it to split without missing the fibers. Furthermore, the "Precision Edge Design" enables the force to be transmitted without waste. With a precise cutting edge, it bites accurately into the targeted position, allowing for beautiful wood splitting with light force.
The sharpness that showcases craftsmanship
A genuine item that balances durability and sharpness with the craftsmanship of artisans from Sanjo, Niigata, known as the city of blades, designed for long-term use. The blade, forged by artisans, has an intricately thought-out structure that offers exceptional sharpness. Firewood split with "SHINGA" splits cleanly without crushing the fibers, making it easy for air to circulate and moisture to escape. Its quick drying and easy ignitability, along with low smoke and long-lasting flames, make it a "high-quality firewood" for enjoying campfires meaningfully for a longer time.
