Notes:
The handmade Japanese hatchet is characterized by an ergonomic design, smooth operation, and long-lasting sharpness. However, it is important to know that the hatchet is made of rust-prone steel, so proper maintenance is essential.
After use, we recommend cleaning the blade and applying vegetable oil, and storing the hatchet in a dry place. If rust or other deposits form, you can use products from our steel care kit.
Each hatchet is unique and may slightly differ in appearance from the one shown in the picture. The blade is hand-forged, and the handle is made of natural wood. So it may be slightly darker, lighter, or have other distinctive grain features. This in no way affects the quality but gives each tool more personality.
