Product information & specifications
Silky NATA Double Edge Machete
The Silky NATA Double Edge is a powerful hybrid tool that sits between a knife and an axe, delivering fast, efficient chopping where sawing or cutting would be slower. Designed for forestry, woodland work and demanding outdoor tasks, the double-edged NATA excels at controlled splitting and impact-driven work with minimal effort.
Forged from SKS-51 (JIS) steel, the blade offers outstanding toughness and edge durability. Silky’s Genki rubber grip absorbs shock exceptionally well, dramatically reducing vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. This makes the NATA comfortable and controlled to use, even during repetitive chopping tasks.
Key Features
- Silky NATA double edge design for fast, powerful chopping and splitting
- Hybrid knife–axe tool ideal when chopping is faster than sawing
- Forged SKS-51 (JIS) steel blade for strength, toughness and edge retention
- Double-ground cutting edge sharpened on both sides for splitting wood
- Excellent balance and control for precise, confident strikes
- Genki rubber grip for superior shock absorption and comfort
- Reduced vibration transfer to minimise hand and arm fatigue
- Suitable for professional and serious domestic use

Double Edge Design & Use
The double-ground Silky NATA is sharpened on both sides of the blade, making it particularly effective for splitting wood and straight, force-driven chopping. This version is ideal when power and symmetry are required, delivering consistent results with each strike.
Silky also offers a single-ground NATA variant for debarking trees, chopping small branches and layering hedges, but the double edge version is the preferred choice for splitting and heavier chopping applications.
FAQs
What is the Silky NATA Double Edge designed for?
The Double Edge NATA is designed primarily for splitting wood and heavy chopping tasks, where chopping is faster and more efficient than sawing.
What is the difference between single ground and double ground NATA versions?
The single ground version is sharpened on one side and is suited to debarking, chopping small branches and hedge layering. The double ground version is sharpened on both sides and is ideal for splitting wood.
What steel is used for the blade?
The blade is forged from SKS-51 (JIS) steel, chosen for its strength, toughness and excellent performance in impact tools.
Does the Genki grip reduce vibration?
Yes. The Genki rubber grip absorbs shock extremely well, so vibrations are barely transmitted to the hand or arm, reducing fatigue during prolonged use.
