Discover Japanese tools

[The Government]

I have seen some pictures of japanese tools posted on BF before, but I had never searched them out on my own. There are many very affordable quality tools to be had.

Today I found something that I am absolutely going to have to buy. It is a japanese hatchet. It is kind of like a hatchet and a machete combined; a Hachete. Or a meat cleaver and a machete; a macheaver, or cleav-ete.

(Not to mention all the simple folding knives with laminated blades. It is a new outlet for the addiction.)

Anyway, I am sure a lot of you have seen this, and I bet it would make a great woods tool. Since I just bought a new axe, it is going to be a while before I get this, but it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.


6 1/2" blade of laminated japanese steel. about 1/4" thick

What kills me is the price. I dare not to say it. They would sell out!

Please don't tell me that it's cheap. Cheap and good will just make me want one more, and I'm sure I can't afford it.

I've seen these before and they are pretty sweet. Anybody know of a good site to order them off of? Seems knifecenter.com has a bunch.

Check out Okatsune tools if you can find them. (hedge shears, loppers, hand pruners) They're the best in the world and make German, USA and Swiss tools seem like junk.

Never mind.
