Barebones Japanese Nata Tool, 21 Inch Stainless Steel Axe with Sheath

12 Inch Bush Machete Blade

A versatile 12 inch blade that cuts branches, vines and kindling up to 2 inches in diameter in a single confident stroke.

5mm Full-Tang 4Cr13 Steel

5mm thick 4Cr13 stainless steel runs full-tang through the handle with a straight edge, so it takes repeated impact without flexing or working loose.

Japanese-Inspired Nata Design

Based on the traditional Japanese nata, a bush tool refined over generations for splitting kindling and clearing growth.

Balanced for Controlled Work

The weight distribution is tuned for controlled chopping and trimming rather than brute swinging, which means less fatigue and more accuracy.

Easy-to-Sharpen Blade

The straight edge geometry is simple to bring back with a file and stone, so the tool stays serviceable for decades.

Walnut Handle With Steel Rivets

Durable walnut scales are secured with heavy-duty stainless steel rivets for a grip that will not loosen under hard use.

900D Polyester Sheath

A rugged, mould-resistant 900D polyester sheath with a copper-finished snap closure and leather strap keeps the edge covered.

Copper Lanyard Ring

A copper lanyard ring takes a wrist loop for secure handling during heavy swings.

Metal Belt Clip

A metal belt clip on the sheath makes it convenient to carry on a belt or pack strap.

21 Inches, 1.5 lbs

Overall length of 21 inches at 1.5 lbs gives real chopping leverage while staying controllable in one hand.

Care

Apply a thin coat of protective oil after each use and wipe clean of dirt and fingerprints. Use a medium to fine file for larger nicks, then hone the edge on a stone. Never machine wash the sheath.
