Japanese Nata Tool

Clear brush, cut shoots and small branches, and accomplish light harvesting tasks with this thoughtfully crafted tool. Inspired by a traditional Japanese bush machete and constructed with heritage-quality materials, our Japanese Nata Tool unites versatile function and refined durability. The stainless steel, machete-like blade is paired with a solid steel core that runs the full length of the hardwood handle, providing both stability and added swinging weight. (Blade length: 12", Overall tool length: 21") Despite its robust construction, the tool remains thin and lightweight, making it an essential addition to any collection.

The Nata Sheath is the perfect blend of utility and design, offering robust protection for your Nata Tool. Crafted from durable 900D polyester with an interior liner, it safeguards the blade from dulling during real-world use. A stainless steel belt clip ensures easy carrying and quick access, while the sturdy handle strap keeps the blade securely in place. The open-end design allows for easy cleaning, preventing soil buildup and preserving the blade’s sharpness. Accented with full-grain leather and copper, it beautifully complements our Woodsman Collection.

Note: While versatile and durable, the Nata Tool is best suited for branches, vines, and kindling 2 inches or smaller in diameter. Attempting to cut through thicker logs, such as those 6 inches or more, can lead to damage and breakage.

Looking for a more robust tool? The Nata Hatchet is the heavy-duty sibling, capable of cutting through branches and larger logs up to 8" in diameter.

Blade:
Apply a thin coat of protective oil after each use. Wipe clean of dirt, water, and fingerprints regularly. Use a medium to fine file to straighten out any larger dings or nicks in the blade. The edge can be honed with a medium sharpening disk or stone.

Sheath:
Waxed canvas should never be dry cleaned or machine washed. It can be cleaned carefully by hand. Brush off the loose dirt, rinse the surface with cold water, gently scrub with a brush, then let air dry. If stains persist, use mild bar soap or saddle soap.

After cleaning, waxed canvas may need to be re-waxed. To do so, use a wax conditioner and apply following the manufacturer's instructions.

Q: Why 900D Polyester?
A: 900D Polyester is water-resistant, resistant to bacteria, and very durable which makes it ideal for extended use in the outdoors.

Q: Can I store my Japanese Nata Tool outside for extended periods of time?
A: The Japanese Nata Tool is not meant to be stored outside for long periods of time. Extended exposure to wet conditions may cause rust and unnecessary wear and tear. We recommend storing your Nata Tool indoors after use to help it last as long as possible and to avoid the need to purchase a replacement.
