Godo Tadaharu Niigata 180mm Double Bevel Nata Oak

Godo Tadaharu Niigata 180mm Double Bevel Nata 350g 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.

With Nylon sheath

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