The Jigata Masakari by Mizuno-san is an incredibly robust, heavy duty hatchet. This blade has one of the thickest bevels we've ever seen, making it ideal for hatchet splitting. The straight bevel also means you could do some wood-working or even bushcrafting with it, as you can slip your hand behind the beard for more control.

Axe me about the Mizuno Jigata Masakari bearded hatchet...
"To borrow the classic words of Bryan Adams, “...cuts like a knife, but it feels so right...” Masterfully balanced, the bearded hatchet provides one with a sense of utter control as it is manipulated. Incredibly sharp, the head of the hatchet moves through wood with minimal resistance. Functionally, it has nothing lacking and it makes cutting wood a thing of beauty whilst being itself a work of art."
