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.
