  The hatchet is forged and forged by a highly skilled, genuine hatchet blacksmith from Tosa.

  This is a masterpiece that has been carefully crafted with the utmost attention to detail, with uniform thickness, a straight back and tip, and a sharp blade .
  

  
  

  Each knife is split into two pieces by hot hammering, steel
  is manually inserted between the two, and then the shape is skillfully fire-forged with a hammer.

  The steel used is blue paper steel, which is hard, tough, and has a sharp cutting edge.

  This is not a cheap product made by lightly hammering composite material. It is the real thing,
  forged with great care.

  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.

  
  
  

  What is an improved branch cutting hatchet?

  
  

  Based on the Otafuku-type pruning hatchet, the blade is made thinner , which has the advantages of being easier to sharpen due to the
  narrow sharpening width
  and easier to cut into branches .
  

  　

The steel color sometimes with a little bit have been changed.

This color is the residue when it is cooled by immersion in water during heat treatment.

The lead is melted, the temperature is raised to 800 degrees, and the ax is placed in it.

If put the ax directly, the lead will remain on the surface of the ax, so apply the mud to the ax first. Mud mixtures will vary from blacksmith to blacksmith. This color is the peeling part of the soil. This is what happens normally.

If use oil quenching that will showing beautiful color, but water quenching sometimes becomes like this due to mud preparation.

Water quenching is the top skill in Japan, that can give steel become too harder than oil quenching. I hope you can understand the forging process.
