They did have some neat bamboo splitting tools, though. Yeah, right across from REI. I meant to add that if anyone orders something from them, you should also get a Japanese razor saw if you don't already have one. There's no better tool for cross-cutting bamboo and you will never use a crappy old-school saw again. If you get one for cutting bamboo, get one with the spine rail on the blade.
