Japanese bladed tools are among the best in the world. So there's no wonder that Japanese machetes are growing in global popularity. Whether you're talking about kitchen knives, chisels, axes, or machetes - if a Japanese tool has a blade, you know it will cut well.
The Japanese machete can take various forms. Some, like the yamanata, are machete knives, which can be used similarly to a large camping or hunting knife. Others, like the popular Silky Yoki Chopper, look more like Latin American machetes.
The best machete is the one with the sharpest blade, and Japanese machetes have super sharp blades. Whether they're made from high-quality Japanese stainless steel, or world-famous carbon steels like shirogami and aogami, they'll slice through anything you want them to with ease.
