The nata hatchet is unique to Japan. Its design is somewhere between a traditional hatchet and a machete. They may look strange to us, but they're used regularly by Japanese forestry workers and farmers, and are extremely efficient at clearing trees, pruning, and splitting firewood. The blade of this hatchet is made out of exceptional yasugi aogami steel. Yasugi high-carbon steel comes in three varieties: kigami, shirogami and aogami.

Nata tools are Japanese axes or hatchets, and a cutting tool unique to Japan. Nata are similar in shape to machetes, but they tend to function more like a small axe or hatchet, as their main purpose is generally to cut and split wood. Although, due to their design, they are capable of clearing brush and vines, just like a machete can. They’re very versatile, multi-purpose cutting tools.
