BAREBONES Japanese Nata Hatchet

Our Japanese style Nata Hatchet boasts a thicker, balanced 5mm blade providing the strength and versatility to thrive in any natural environment. More compact and heavier than our Japanese Nata Tool machete, the hatchet excels at tackling precision work and heavy-duty chopping alike.

The 7″ stainless steel blade, solid steel core, and durable walnut handle lend stability and greater swinging weight, yet it still packs thin and light. Easy to resharpen and built to last, this tool is an essential addition to any Woodsman collection. Includes 900D polyester sheath with belt clip.

Care:

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.

ABOUT BAREBONES LIVING:

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you love. Come, be drawn byyourTrue North.”- Rumi –

“When I’m in the garden on my ranch, with my hands in the earth or witnessing the magic of a star-filled sky far from city lights or fully experiencing conscious time spent in nature, everything trivial falls away. I’m reminded why I’m here and what matters to me most. It is humbling and expansive all at once. It brings clarity and renews my passion to create the impactful life I imagine made vibrant by family, nature and the humanitarian work I love.

My intention is for Barebones to inspire a desire to consciously engage with nature and, as the poet Rumi invites, ‘Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you love.’ Come, be drawn to your True North.”
