Overview

Not a long jungle machete, the Barebones Nata is a short, thick Japanese style chopper that blends a bolo and a bush machete. Its squared tip handles detail work like carving kindling, and the full tang walnut handle stays tight through heavy chopping.

Thick, full tang steel for branch work and kindling is the reason to buy. It is built for light and medium tasks, not heavy clearing of thick brush.

Who it's for

Yard maintenance, campsites and light harvesting suit it. Those cutting thick trunks need a saw or axe.

Blade thickness and the full tang put weight behind each chop, while the straight edge sharpens easily. The squared tip gives control for carving and stripping bark.
