Barebones Japanese NATA Hatchet - 7-Inch Stainless Steel Machete

This is a very nice Barebones Nata. Excellent build quality, fit and finish. The Silky Nata is slightly more balanced in hand but it is also more expensive. The sheath looks great. It has a plastic liner and clips nicely to your belt. The only issue I have with the sheath is that the straps get in the way, and can be sliced, when either drawing or sheathing the Nata. Overall, I am very happy with the my purchase.

i LOVE this knife. we bought a “project” house two years ago -and this knife has been one of my best friends. the weight and angle of the blade make it extremely effective at chopping through small branches outdoors and the blade is wide enough to flip it around and tap a nail that’s poking out. it’s an amazing tool.

Came dull, and with a very conservative bevel (30*?). Didn't cut much. Forgot it outside for a few weeks, somehow didn't even get surface rust (big red flag). Tried to put a more aggressive 20* bevel on it, and it wouldn't take an edge. Kitchen sharpener was removing an uncomfortable amount of material. Ceramic honing stage kept leaving a burr. A single stroke with a steel hone would knock the burr off, but roll a bigger one on the opposite side. Tried gouging a section of the original grind with a cheap screwdriver and succeeded. I don't know what this thing is made of, but whatever it is it's not hard enough for anything sharper than a butter knife. Also the sheath doesn't fit very well... It exposes the last 2" of the blade if you lift by the handle. It's pretty though.

This is strictly a visual review. This knife will probably do the job great as it seems sturdy but it’s really lacking in the fit and finish regarding the wood handle. The handle scales are not a matched set or even a close try to match set. When sanding they over sanded and created low spots This basically means that the sides are not flat. I purchased for around $ 45.00 so I will keep it but would definitely return if I paid full or near full price.

Very nice. Very sharp. Great quality

It’s a harder steel and very well balanced, sings to your soul with each swing🤷‍♂️

Came very dull, isn’t cutting through anything, even guinea grass blades. Super disappointing for the price

ベアボーンズ ロゴ、デザイン、重量感とも良い感じです。肝心な薪割り切れ味も良いです。 女性の方でも楽に使えておすすめです。

ベアボーンズのナタカッコいい！ 切れ味も問題なし。バトニングも問題ない。重量バランスも良好。両刃なので、薪を割るのにはやりやすいが、フェザーを作るのにはあまり向かない。星を減らしたのは、ナタを鞘に入れる時に気をつけないと、抜けないようにする皮製ストッパーを刃で傷つけてしまうことがあり、出し入れし難いため。

バイクキャンプ用に、あまりごつくないナタが欲しかった。 ホムセンのはお手頃だけどデザインがちょっとなーっという時に格好いいコレを発見。 実際に使用してみましたが硬め薪も問題なく割れました。 ハンドルにグリップテープ巻くか考え中

早速薪割りをしました。特に問題なく耐久力はあります。木を横から打つと刃こぼれしました。

薪割に使用していた小型のナタの柄が割れたので、斧の代わりにも使えそうなので購入。 斧の代わりにもなるし、薪割はコレひとつでいけそう。 切れ味はまあまあ。耐久性も今のところ問題なさそう。
