Split bamboo is inspired by chinese martial arts movies. During the fight two sides often use bamboo poles as a weapon, both sides exhausted their strength to push the ends of bamboo poles, the bamboo cracking as the force is too great.The entire manufacturing process consists of harvesting and scoring the ends of the bamboo stalk. While the stalk is still somewhat pliable - pressing in the ends creates a foot stand and loops. As using bamboo material, this is a sustainable product.
