Godo Tadaharu Niigata 180 mm Double Bevel Nata Oak

From Niigata, these hand-forged laminated tool steel and mild steel nata are great old style Japanese tools. Not quite a machete, not quite a hatchet, but with lots of overlapping between the tasks that would be asked of either of those tools. The hagane (cutting edge steel) is a bit softer than kitchen knives but still relatively hard, making these tools incompatible with hitting very hard surfaces or twisting in a cut on hard woods.

Includes nylon sheath

180 mm cutting edge, 7 mm thick spine at handle, 350 mm overall length, 350 grams
