AZUMASYUSAKU is our original brand.
Made by with best forging skill craftsmen in TOSA.
Tosa where the center of hatchet production in Japan.
One of the highest-grade hatchets with case manufactured carefully
by a Tosa smith who is working sincerely and steadily with the traditional smith techniques succeeded.
It is a "REAL" hatchet, with the edge of the blade
made of that famous high carbon steel "Shirogami Steel".
It is produced by hammer one by one, quite different from ones made of patted clad materials.
It is extremely sharp and sharpness last longer.
However, it gets rust easily, so it needs maintenance.
Handmade products have their own unique charm and character that set them apart from factory-made items. While factory-produced goods may strive for flawless perfection, the beauty of handmade lies in its individuality and the human touch behind every detail. Each piece tells a story, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
"Unrivaled Sharpness and Enduring Strength"
—Authentic, Top-Tier Nata for the True Craftsman
Forged with care in the mountains of Tosa, where the legacy of blacksmithing lives on.
Each blade is meticulously crafted by a dedicated artisan—
a true master who walks the path of tradition with integrity and purpose.

This is the real deal—hand-forged through a traditional wakashi-tsuke forge-welding process.
Soft wrought iron (jigane) is meticulously bonded with premium White Paper Steel (shirogami),
creating a blade that embodies the genuine spirit of Japanese blacksmithing.

this is craftsmanship that holds its own legacy.
■ Sheathed in Elegance—Crafted from Premium Walnut
The sheath is crafted from walnut, one of the world’s three finest hardwoods,
chosen for its rich color and graceful grain.
Expert woodworkers shape each one by hand, honoring the natural beauty of the material
while refining every detail—from beveled edges to a smooth, tactile finish—
creating a piece that is as pleasurable to hold as it is to behold.
Finished with two coats of natural oil, it boasts improved water and stain resistance,
blending timeless craftsmanship with practical durability.

Customer Reviews
Amazing weight and balance, blade is very sharp; not too sharp to chip. Steel is thick, very well tapered and gives a good heft and follow through on the cutting stroke. Handle is well formed and sound, blade is riveted and collared very securely. I rotated the leather retaining strap 180 degrees to allow it to be unsnapped with the thumb when held securely in the right hand, this is easy to do as the retaining strap is secured by one rivet it can pivot around. I was originally concerned about the size and form of the wooden sheath; it is very secure and comfortable to wear. My only wish would be the availability of a full tang version, however this design is centuries old, I am sure it will preform exceptionally.
Thank you so much for your detailed and insightful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that the design, craftsmanship, and materials exceeded your expectations. Your observations about the balance, blade quality, and secure construction mean a lot. It’s great to know that the leather strap adjustment worked well for you and that the sheath is both secure and comfortable to wear. We appreciate your thoughts on a full tang version—it's always great to hear what our customers would love to see in the future! Thank you for your support, and we hope it continues to serve you exceptionally!
I love everything about this. You can tell it’s forged with great care any attention. I thought it was a full tang before I bought it but looking back at the pictures you can see it’s not. Not a huge deal I guess we’ll just see how long the handle lasts.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you appreciate the craftsmanship and care that went into forging this piece.
Regarding the tang, we understand how important durability is, and while this knife isn’t full tang, its construction is designed for longevity and strength. The handle is crafted to withstand regular use, but if you ever have any concerns down the road, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We truly appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy using it!
