Lightweight, portable, and built for outdoor adventures – the Tomita Nisaku Hatchet combines portability with outstanding reliability. Perfect for camping, hiking, bushcraft, or backyard firewood prep, this versatile hatchet is easy to handle for users of all skill levels.
The blade, made of stainless steel alloyed with molybdenum and vanadium and hardened to HRC 58, combines exceptional sharpness, robustness, and rust resistance. The migaki mirror finish reduces friction and increases the efficiency of each swing, while also making cleaning and maintenance easier. Ideal for gardening, camping, or working outdoors.
BLADE SHAPE:
This compact tool features a sharp, Nata-style double-bevel blade designed for both efficient splitting and fine carving tasks. The straight edge and squared-off tip offer excellent control for precision work, making it ideal for shaping wood, stripping bark, or preparing kindling.
The spine is thick and durable, providing stability for light striking or batoning, while the flat grind tapers down smoothly to a fine edge, allowing the blade to bite cleanly into wood with minimal resistance.
A built-in metal flange at the handle junction serves as a finger guard, preventing slippage and enhancing user safety during detailed work or when applying force.
STEEL:
Made from SUS DSR-1K6 stainless steel, this bushcraft hatchet combines long-lasting sharpness and exceptional durability—perfect for repeated strikes and demanding tasks that put stress on the blade.
BLADE FINSIH:
The blade is mirror-polished to create a perfectly smooth surface.
HANDLE:
Made from durable oak, known for its fine grain and water resistance. Handle is finished with beeswax for enhanced moisture protection and a smooth, natural feel.
SAYA:
A protective cover made of gold-colored nylon tape is included. The practical wrist strap helps prevent the tool from slipping or falling, while the bright color makes it easy to spot outdoors.

☝️ Japanese kitchen knives in our store are handmade from natural materials. Slight variations in color, texture, weight and other dimensions are possible. We try to give a good photographic representation of our products, however computer screen resolution and colors do vary, so products might not look exactly as they are seen on screen.
Blade wear depends on the quality of steel, usage and maintenance of the blade. Japanese knives are made of high-quality steels. Follow these tips to keep your Japanese knife in top-notch shape:
✔ Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
✔ After use, wash the knives and wipe them dry.
✔ For storage, use a knife holder or a protective knife sheath (saya).
✔ A good cutting technique is your best bet to prolong sharpness.
✔ Use sharpening stones to sharpen the knife.
❗️Don’t leave the knife in the sink. Wash it by hand.
❗️Don’t wash the knife in the dishwasher.
❗️Don’t use the knife on glass, ceramics, marble or steel surfaces.
❗️Don’t scrape the food off the cutting board with the edge of the blade. Use the spine of the knife instead.
❗️Knife is a tool intended for specific use - cutting food. It is not a can opener, screwdriver, trowel, wire cutter, hammer etc.
