Inspired by traditional Japanese implements, this hatchet has a distinctive profile with a long 7″ blade, serious weight, and a smooth walnut handle that feels good in the hand. It sits somewhere between a machete and a compact hatchet, giving it the range to handle kindling, pruning, debarking, brush clearing, and larger branches with confidence. The full-tang 4Cr14MoV stainless steel blade is 5mm thick, with a wide bevel that makes controlled chopping feel steady and natural.

It also looks the part. The dark blade, warm wood handle, copper lanyard ring, and tailored sheath give the Nata Hatchet a quiet sense of occasion. It is the kind of tool that belongs by the back door, in the truck, at the campsite, or hanging in a well-kept shed. Rugged enough for real outdoor work, handsome enough to gift to someone who would rather spend the weekend under trees than under fluorescent lights. Sheath included.

The polished stainless steel head slides in smoothly, and the heart profile turns out to be genuinely useful in tight spots—easy to aim, easy to scoop, easy to control. The FSC-certified beech handle sits comfortably in the palm, finished with a brass ferrule that gives it a classic, well-made look.

That heart shape also makes it an easy pick for a Valentine’s gift—sweet, grown-up, and something they’ll actually use all season. Supplied in a presentation gift box.

The stainless steel head is mirror polished and nicely deep, so it carries a decent load of soil without the spill on the way to the pot. The curved backstops give you more control when you scoop, and they help the trowel stay steady in tighter spaces. The FSC beech handle is waxed and smooth in the hand, finished with a brass ferrule that feels sturdy and clean. There’s also an etched maker’s mark—one of those details you notice after a few weekends of use.

The set includes a planting stick, a hand fork, and a hand shovel. Each one is shaped for simple, regular plant care—repotting, spacing, loosening soil, working around roots. The handling is straightforward, and the proportions make sense for indoor pots and smaller garden spaces.

The tools come in a well-made gift box, which makes the set an easy choice for plant lovers or anyone who appreciates objects designed with attention to material and use. It’s a small, well-executed extension of Crawford’s broader design work, brought into the context of everyday gardening.
