A hand forged long bladed carbon steel pruning hatchet with a lacquered Japanese Oak handle. From Asano Mokkousho of Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. In use these are probably closer to a billhook than the hatchet or machete that they variously get translated as. The single bevel allows cuts tight to the trunk when pruning or limbing shrubs or small trees. Supplied with a leatherette covered poplar wood holster, designed to be carried safely on a belt. About 36cm overall length, with a blade of about 16.5cm.

Care Advice

Hand wash only, and never leave soaking. Dry immediately, followed with a light coating of camellia or a mineral oil. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust formation. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary. Treat the wooden handle with a mineral oil when necessary to condition the wood and prevent warping and cracking.
