Its a slip fit axe, or trade axe. Made the handle tapered out on the top so when it gets humid, *which this originated from sailors (vikings used it too) so it got humid quite frequently* the axe head doesnt fly off which u do get with a normal fitted axe, the colonizers found it very handy and used it in the colonisation of America it is called a trade axe bc they traded it with the natives for peace or even for safe passage and other goodies, hell even the trade axe was used to trade for protection. We now use the term tomahawk tho thats just a native word for axe and they said "tomahawk" to let them know to trade an axe and the term sticked to them.
thanks for the info, I have been getting more and more information on this type of axe. I know now that it isn't the type of hatchet that I was looking for to do the job I was asking of it.
Good morning Mumfy, just another day in paradise my friend. You are living the life, enjoying the outdoors and seeing America! Hats off to you Mumfy for honest and informative reviews!
Hi Mumfy, I love the hatchet head design but they shouldn't have called it a hatchet since the handle design and the way it's hung is exactly like a tomahawk. Also the nata front edge seems perfect for debarking and could kinda be used as a chisel.
I liked the size of the hatchet just not the lack of security on the handle that I cant stand. As for the Nata, I hadn't thought of a chisel. Great call out! Thanks
that flat head tip can be used for digging
Tomahawks heads are supposed to be easy separate for easier packing. Not trying to be a smart a$$ but they are. I like the Nata clone… but it seems to be overpriced. I built a 10” bladed Nata with an 8” handle from a leaf spring 30 plus years ago… it is the handiest tool in my pack.
I have learned alot about this kind of tool since i posted this video. I appreciate the call out and I admit this isn't the tool I thought it was when I purchased it.
You shouldn’t buy a tomahawk if you don’t want the head tocome off. This is how they work. They are a friction fit.
I agree, however this is advertised as a field hatchet and not a tomahawk. If it were advertised as a tomahawk I would have reviewed it as such.
@@Mumfy64 the definition hatchet is a small axe with a short handle that can be used in one hand. Multiple companies and countries still use slip fit for a hatchet.
Fair enough. In any case, it wasn’t the tool I needed it to be. I have found a fixed head hatchet that gets the job done.
@@Mumfy64 I keep Tomahawk in my bag. And normally I take a 22 inch flying fox
Dude it’s a tomahawk, it’s built to slide off. It’s for when you throw it it doesn’t break. That’s not a failure it’s the design. You can also hit it into place
The product is advertised as a field hatchet, thus I reviewed it as such. The product page for the field hatchet doesn't reference it as a tomahawk.
It could be good chisel for paring and other works but i would redesign handle cause it might be difficult to use it as a chisel
agreed that the handle could benefit from better geometry, but overall the Nata is a great tool.
Quick question, did you set the hatchet head initially before using it? I was about to get one but am hesitant now.
I have the Nata already and am a big fan. Great for batoning as you displayed. It is pretty good for carving wood due to its shape and geometry as well as the chisel at the end. Improvised pry bar in a pinch? The weight and thick spine give it a great feel.
I have set the hatchet several times and still have the same issue. Even on their website it states to reset the hatchet head by dropping it from about 10" or so. I would much rather have a fixed head hatchet so that I am not having to reset.
@@Mumfy64 i agree. I have had a mattock head come loose on me while chopping some roots one time. This kinda thing is sketchy.
I was just reading on an axe forum that some guys will soak their handles in water overnight after setting them. Maybe that will help you out?
I appreciate you responding so quick as i still have the ability to change my order hah
@@themightycrixus1131 glad i could help. be safe with your tools out there.
i would have liked to have seen more on the hatchet. You didn't show us the blade width or anything. You say you don't recommend it but you still provide links for it?
Good call outs, I'll work on brining more visuals to these reviews. As for the link for something I don't recommend, someone else may want it even if I don't recommend it.
@@Mumfy64 that’s what I’m getting at. I’m thinking about getting one myself but am interested in the thickness of the axe head, stuff like that. My solution for the head sliding off the handle is to do a paracord wrap as over strike protection for the handle. I nice tight wrap will stop that head from moving.
Haha, how embarrassing Who wants to be the one to tell him that is a friction fit hatchet, meaning it's supposed to slide off and on? Lol..
I have used my hatchet from barebones for over 2 years with no problem and I like that the head comes off for many many reason you can use the Handel for what ever you conjure up and keep the head in your pack and if it breaks it’s an easy fix. Super super light hatchet and super dependable so guys I highly recommended getting one for your pack trust me you won’t regret it.
Looks like a tomahawk to me, and the handle should do that on a tomahawk ... you should never cut wood on rocks ... you need to learn how to use tools properly
