Up for sale is an authentic Japanese Tosa Nata outdoor hatchet/cleaver knife featuring kanji maker markings forged directly into the blade.
I just took this knife in to have cleaned, oiled and sharpened. It is RAZOR sharp and will pop your arm hairs if you shave it.
Built for heavy-duty forestry, camping, bushcraft, and wood clearing, this tool offers exceptional balance and durability.
It comes paired with its traditional wooden scabbard lined with bark detail, featuring a leather belt loop and secure retention straps.

Blade: Sturdy high-carbon steel construction with traditional single/double bevel profile. Hand-engraved Kanji signatures ("Tosa Made") on one side and numbered mark ("21") on the reverse.
Handle: Smooth, ergonomically curved hardwood handle fastened with metal collar and pin for a solid grip during heavy chopping.
Sheath: Wooden sheath wrapped in natural cherry bark style finish, featuring functional leather straps and a belt loop for safe hip-carry.
Measurements: Overall length measures approximately 16 inches, with an 8-inch blade section (see tape measure photos for precise sizing).
Condition Notes:
Item is pre-owned with light surface signs of age and prior use.
