The handle seems like a design feature for cleaning. If you’re feeling froggy you could put some slabs on it and use epoxy to fill in the slots on the tang. Excellent review! Thanks!
I have the Nata, as well as the Ono, and a plethora of other large choppers. The Nata, while great quality, isn't what I grab very often for heavy work. I highly recommend the Terava Skrama from Varusteleka over any others I've tried. I haven't used a Buck Compadre Froe or an Ontario SP8, but I don't see either fulfilling a need that the Skrama doesn't.
The size & shape of this tool remind me of a traditional Swiss gardening tool called 'Berner Gertel'. The gertel is used when processing twigs and branches into firewood and kindling. Good design is known and repeated around the world!
Really enjoy your videos. Single bevel/double bevel and single edge/ double edge are two different animals. Single bevel are most likely Japanese kitchen knives and double bevel are most other everyday knives. Single edge is sharp on one edge of the blade, double edge is sharp on both top and bottom edge of the blade and is illegal in some US states. If I miss understood what you said, I apologize. Always look forward to your vids.
The single bevel is more like a chisel, and I believe, is meant to be used more as a tool. Some knives are made that way so they can be used for making things.
I have the same model Nata and wrapped the sheath in black gaffer tape and attached a Silky Gomboy saw for a great combo. Added a small neck knife for the small/fine work and I have all the blades needed for camping.
This knife is a Hatchet and it is made of Japanese High Carbon Steel SKS-51 Hard Chromed and the special Genki rubber grip absorbs the shock very well. Thanks 👍👍👍
I've done all that and a bit more, including taking down small trees (biggest being 6-8 inches in diameter) with my Fiskars brush axe. It was about $30 at Tractor Supply back when I got it. 19 1/2" long, about 1/8" thick blade. The handle, not great, so I cord wrapped mine for better grip.
That's a nice blade, it looks like a good splitter more than anything else. You should give a Kukri a try. The current "modern" design is a few hundred years old, the design base is much older than that. It just works, and it's a bit more versatile.
The Japanese make incredible garden tools which I also use in bushcrafting especially the Gomboy 240 and the Pocketboy. Another tool I love is the Hori Hori which is invaluable in gardening projects. As for chopping and trimming, if I'm not using an axe my go-to tool is the Ontario SP8 which I believe is about 1/3 the price of the Nata. The sheath is made of heavy leather and Cordura with a dangling belt loop and I keep it secured to my leg with an affixed compression strap with snap closure. As a former member of a military chopper crew the Ontario (blade on one edge and saw on the other) was an invaluable tool asset.
I have the Silky Katanaboy 500 saw and the Silky Big boy 2000. Both are great saws . Also in my collection of bush tools is same hatchet you have there, works very well on the hard rough timber we have here in Australia. Cheers Luke all best regards from western Australia down under. Great video mate.
Locust: Makes the best fence post, kinlin, and with the oils in it and density of the wood. Used for years by farmers as bearings for tillage disk bushings and barn siding. And best part of all.. one of the most painful quick to infect splinters in fingers that you can ever get. ( I hope you harvested that wood for future kinlin use. )
Another great review Mr.Luke! It's a Silky, not surprised it did well. I've been saving for the saw for long time... now you got me wanting one of these things too lol.
Hi. Just stepped in the house from visiting family..and saw u had a video up loaded. Awesome indeed. Great review. Excellent knife. It will cut through anything in a matter of minutes. Cool!👌👍👌
Sawing wood with a Bacho laplander on a silky product video - I love it!!! All kidding aside it really looks like a great product. As always, great review.
Good call on wearing heavy pigskin gloves while using Silky products. I learned that one the hard way when a Silky Sugoi saw skipped off the wood and went right through some lesser gloves .. it bled a long time and now I've got a scar :(
Heavy knives or machete's are best combined with a duty belt (kinetic projectile belt) -- I like the synthetic CORE belt, as is firm enough to carry the weight and rugged enough to deal with the outdoors.
Luke, as usual great review. If I may make a recommendation, please consider reviewing the Carnivore X by Camilus. I bought one and after I wrapped the handle in paracord to absorb the shock of chopping, it has become an indispensable outdoor tool. It has a High strength, titanium coated stainless steel blade that is a multi functional. It’s very sharp right out of the box and holds an edge like nothing I’ve ever had. I have after much chopping, have sharpened it even further. The cost is only $25 available at Walmart and a guarantee you it can do anything the blade reeves today can do and more. This is now my default gift that I give to all the outdoor enthusiasts in my world. The stealth is excellent and even comes with an additional small blade.
Man this is the first vid i see with the new camera (havent been around alot lately) and its a massive upgrade for the channel! Awesome :) Keep it going luke!
The Nata is a gardening tool , not specifically designed for the outdoors, that's why the sheath is not " tactical " rubber handle is replaceable because it will wear out long before blade is done being usable, but it is such a good tool I can't never go back to a machete .... And silky saws leave the laplander in the dust , sawdust .
It a cool piece of equipment I’ll stick with my brothers old machete it’s an old Canadian tire purchase from back in the early 90’s he’s since passed on my ole hunting hiking partner passed on in 2005 still miss him every day I’ll stick with his machete!
There are locust fenceposts on my grandmother's property that have been there for over 100 years. That wood is damn near indestructable. As to the sheath, find a local holster maker or leather worker, and have a good leather sheath made for it...
I don't know because I have not used it but watching your demos I got the feeling that this is a very well made tool, it batons large pieces like a champ which to me would be it's main use. It would be a good machete for harder woods, and chops as good as any survival knife. But so does my Schf9. I don't actually chop with it as I own a couple of axes too. Any decent sharp axe will chop better and with less effort than any knife blade imo, so really we are down to batoning and some machete-like uses. Lucky for me I don't need a machete where I play so again the main use of this for me would be as a batoning blade.
Off topic but I also got a Helikon-Tex Numbat chest pouch. I removed the map holder and cord to make it a CCW rig. I have my Walther PPS M2 in it using the 7 round mag in it with a spare 8 round mag attached to the back Velcro panel. I ended up using a Maxpedition MX3535B Black Sneak Universal Holster and the Maxpedition 3503B Black Dual Magazine 2 Loop Retention Insert. It is a very comfortable pouch setup and fast when you leave the top right corner unzipped about 1.5 inches. I can still use the zipper pocket on the inside for my battery charger and other small things.
I was surprised to see how difficult it was to remove the map pocket and I too use it for CCW; excellent product for the money and also, fairly water resistant. - Luke
@@TheOutdoorGearReview yes I actually broke one of the Slick clips, fortunately Condor sells them though not in smoke gray, I got the same color Numbat as you did. Still nice to have the option of putting it back together if needed.
Looks like a mini Samurai sword, hmm.. let's see, made in Japan, this thing looks awesome!. I love my Silky saws. Thanks, had no idea Silky has been around for so long. I just discovered them probably less than 10 yrs. ago. I'm into swords and I know the Japanese know what they're doing when it comes to blades. Thanks for the review, Happy New Year!
Well if you like that sort of thing I'd buy it. But me I bought the Kershaw Camp 10 when it first came out. And I'm very happy with it. Or a Becker bk9
I kinda like the flashy color of the sheath -- I go for anything bright, that way it's easier to find if I set it down in the woods. Have saved a lot of tools that way... :-)
Guys...if you have an annoying rattle like this in a polymer sheath...get some foam earplugs and push one of more into the bottom. Make sure you don't clog drain holes. This idea solved the problem when I got my Spyderco SchemmpRock
Ontario Knife companies version I have is quiet in its sheath, has a better quality handle and straps to your leg but heavier which could be a good thing. Good job on the locust Luke ... I have seen locust spark with a chainsaw. Darn hard wood.
Me too.. That tactical site lost my business as well. That damn pop up...couldn't even scroll through the menu. Whomever designed the site needs to be FIRED.
If you haven't used a chest rig before, you should give one a shot as they are excellent ways to carry gear; especially smaller more frequently needed items. Also effective for CCW if that's important to you. - Luke
Needs to be in a nylon or kydex leg sheath w leg strap being adjustable. Needs to be form fitted for a QUIET and secure hold. I like Silky stuff but..... That handle being able to get loose would annoy me. I do like using a machete. But not for long backpacking trip. That job goes to my saw. Its my#1 ' go to ' pack tool. Happy New Year 🎉🎈 to All !!!
Actually the single edge version have both left/ right handed version, it needs less reshaping because the geometry is tougher. For chopping task in camp, silky has an small axe called Ono.
Hey Luke great review as always, what chest rig are you using would like to get one? Keep up the great work man, really awesome to see how much the channel has grown 🇺🇸
Great video! First time watching this channel and ill be back for more. I am curious though, why baton with the Silky Nata when its fully capable of just being swung to split wood? Again, great video, cheers.
Personally, I don't think saying 'thank you' is selling out. Other companies have sent him items before, to check out or to give away. It doesn't mean he endorses them or received compensation.
Kimberly G. It’s more then a thank you, they are sponsoring the channel! Don’t get me wrong I love this channel, he always said he bought his own products to test, but now there is a sponsor! So will we get an honest review!
@@pinzgauer7591 Luke does seem to do honest reviews, but it's always best to not only avoid impropriety, but to also avoid any appearance of it. Testing donated gear with disclosure is OK, but channel sponsorship is pushing the 'appearance' part a bit farther than I care for.
P RO I agree, I think he does honest reviews, but when a sponsor carries the type of things he reviews. If it was a sponsor for things he didn’t review I would have no issues.
So everyone knows, I don't do sponsorships on the channel and if I can get in a piece of gear to honestly review without making any compromises, I will as it's a benefit to all of us. This channel and the community which has formed is all about helping each other, sharing insights and thoughts on gear without sales being a factor; if you have followed the channel long enough, then you know it to be true. In the end, if the product is good, I will say so. If it isn't, I will say so. Do I care if you buy it, nope! It's that simple. S&H - Luke
The blade of this seems small for a Nata, I prefer the larger 12" blades. I've used one in the past for processing dry wood and am picking up a barebones Nata soon for camping purposes supplemented with a standard knife for processing sticks into tinder and such.
Although the Nata is impressive, if I were to carry that much weight in a pack, it would be a 3/4 length axe. An axe gives much more leverage for chopping. Thanks for the review.
That's the Helikon-Tex Numbat chest rig and it's impressed me for the price. Currently I'm still testing it out but my review should be coming up soon. - Luke
I've got something similar already and I'm not a fan tbh. Mine is the Dartmoor Knife and as great as it is, it's not worth the extra weight over a simple lightweight saw and believe me, you'll notice that extra weight in your bag immediately.
Good review, thanks Luke. I just bought a 16 in east wing hatchet, and so far im happy with it. So I think ill hold off an this one, but I hope you had a great Christmas. Just curious do you have a recommendation for a good water filter. Thanks Jon
I know Silky for their saws. I use them for my job pruning trees. I am working on becoming a certified arborist.
The handle seems like a design feature for cleaning. If you’re feeling froggy you could put some slabs on it and use epoxy to fill in the slots on the tang. Excellent review! Thanks!
I have the Nata, as well as the Ono, and a plethora of other large choppers. The Nata, while great quality, isn't what I grab very often for heavy work. I highly recommend the Terava Skrama from Varusteleka over any others I've tried. I haven't used a Buck Compadre Froe or an Ontario SP8, but I don't see either fulfilling a need that the Skrama doesn't.
Luke 👍👍 Love Silky saws, have several and use frequently. This tool, I just don't know. Enjoy!

A hatchet is a tool
@@TingTingalingy Tool as in like a chisel. It’s not meant for chopping wood.
@@jimf1964 that's not true. SE Asia famously employs chisel edged blades for such tasks from tree chopping to food carving. Japan as well
I have the same model Nata and wrapped the sheath in black gaffer tape and attached a Silky Gomboy saw for a great combo. Added a small neck knife for the small/fine work and I have all the blades needed for camping.
That's a great idea to attach the Gomboy Bruce.
- Luke
you can use it as a draw knife and make feather sticks it is more of a machete brushcutter limber and used as you said in the forestry industry
I have the single bevel. And I did NOT know there were different versions beside the full and single edge. Good review Bud 👌👍. Thank you.

thats why common name for locust was 'ironwood' & was preferred for fences

I've seen this on Canadian Preppers channel! He swears by silky saws! 👍🏿

Another great review. Is this a tool that you would prefer over a good hatchet or short axe, or not?
Looking into purchasing a Silky saw to replace the Laplander
Bahco is good, but Silky cuts much better.
It’s not recommended to pull out the knife when your fingers are facing the cutting edge . Should grab only the spine direction when pulling
..a modern day kukri, ,nice test, good vid
Seems like the shorter the Nata the more strikes and energy it takes to complete the cuts. I prefer the Barebones Woodsman.
Nice ,Mach-hatch-akniv!!
Easy enough .. they are sold on amazon .. no annoying pop ups

The blade of this seems small for a Nata, I prefer the larger 12" blades. I've used one in the past for processing dry wood and am picking up a barebones Nata soon for camping purposes supplemented with a standard knife for processing sticks into tinder and such.
There’s some rolling on the blade with the big log.
Although the Nata is impressive, if I were to carry that much weight in a pack, it would be a 3/4 length axe. An axe gives much more leverage for chopping. Thanks for the review.
For camp chores you embed the nata and bring the wood to the nata leaving the feather stick in your hand. Practice like you only have one hand . JMHO
Not too bad at all for a machete and Bowie knife mix

Interesting Silky product. So... When is the video on that chest rig?
Still working on the testing but it should be up shortly.

I've got something similar already and I'm not a fan tbh. Mine is the Dartmoor Knife and as great as it is, it's not worth the extra weight over a simple lightweight saw and believe me, you'll notice that extra weight in your bag immediately.
Good review, thanks Luke. I just bought a 16 in east wing hatchet, and so far im happy with it. So I think ill hold off an this one, but I hope you had a great Christmas. Just curious do you have a recommendation for a good water filter. Thanks Jon
I'm happy to help you out with a recommendation Jon, shoot me an email brother.
