Sakai Takayuki Carbon Steel Black Finished Nata Hatchet Without Guard

The Nata is a Japanese hatchet that combines a machete's versatility with an axe's precision. Built with carbon steel, it maintains a sharp edge for demanding forestry work. The blade measures about 6 inches long with a 9 inch natural wood handle. The Nata delivers power without bulk making it ideal for outdoor work like:

• Clearing brush and branches
• Stripping bark
• Chopping firewood
• Managing woodland

The wooden handle provides a secure grip, while the light weight allows effective cutting without strain. Each Nata reflects traditional craftsmanship adapted for modern use. Perfect for foresters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values quality traditional tools.

Hashi-Nashi

The Nata comes in two traditional styles - with and without a blade guard (hashi-tsuki). The standard version without the guard (hashi-nashi) offers a cleaner cutting profile and is preferred for tasks requiring swift, unobstructed chopping motions. Both styles maintain the same exceptional cutting ability and durability that make the Nata an indispensable forestry tool.
