)
Product Description
Everyone needs a nata. They're a woody wonder, providing a sense of mastery over nature, ideal for snedding (our new word), de-limbing, splitting, shaving (kindling, not beards), lopping and chopping.
The nata is fundamentally a professional edge tool for Japanese foresters, one that serves as a versatile outdoor tool. Gardeners who deal with a lot of wood, for instance, or happy campers who prefer fallen wood for a fire.
A word on craft and tradition. You're in the market for a nata - that's clear - and Kikuchi san's nata is the real deal. Fully handcrafted - the perfectly formed handle, the robust stainless ferrule, the beautiful business end, all Kikuchi san's work - this is not the machine-made hardware store shadow or a tool assembled from purchased parts. There is a sense of shokunin no waza - the artisan's spirit - to be experienced with every swing. Just take it easy to start with, that spirit is seriously sharp.
