If you consider yourself quite the woodsman or love spending time in the great outdoors camping and in search of adventure, Neru Design Works are a brand, hailing from Japan, that need to be well and truly on your radar for 2024. They have an awesome selection of wares that are tailor-made for tackling the wilderness with aplomb and we check out 7 of the best below:
Ono Kezuru 380 Axe
The steel blade of this axe is forged by hand at the Tsubame-Sunjo cutlery in Japan. The handle is made of high-quality White Oak and is shaved into a naturally grippy honeycomb pattern that will wear in with time. A leather sheath provides an extra layer of protection from the elements. The axe also has a leather wrist strap to make sure it doesn’t go flying after an errant swing.
Makibasami Firewood Tool
This is a massive set of iron tongs that are purpose-built to pick up, prod, poke and otherwise move hot logs over an open campfire. Much like everything else Neru makes, the makibasami is crafted with the best materials, including an iron body and hand-shaved White Oak grip. It’s also a top-notch tool for moving hot Dutch ovens, keeping your hands clear of the flames while keeping the heat on.
AL Dutch Oven
Understandably, Neru took their time developing the AL Dutch, a stunning vintage-inspired Dutch oven. They chose to craft it out of cast aluminium instead of cumbersome cast iron, which saves precious pounds and makes it easier to clean than cast iron. This makes the Dutch oven a viable option for bringing along on an adventure.
Nata Kezuru Blade
The iron blade of this knife is crafted in a 20-step process by some of the most experienced artisans in Japan. The handle is hand-shaved from White Oak, which provides great grip and superior durability. The knife also comes with a leather sheath that not only looks great but protects you and the blade itself from accidental knicks.
AL Cooker (wooden grip)
It might look like Thor’s Hammer but this AL Cooker from Neru is actually your new best friend for cooking up a storm in the great outdoors. The hand-shaved White Oak handle looks beautiful and provides a natural grip and the cast aluminium body is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.
Wood/Iron Hammer
The Hammer is a heavy-duty tool with a steel head and a White Oak handle. It is the perfect tool for driving stakes into the ground, even in cold weather. The hand-shaved handle is designed to mold to your hand with use, providing a comfortable and secure grip. The blunt hammer end is durable enough to nail the hardest of metals without damaging them.
Camp No Hamono Knife
The Camp No Hamono Knife from Neru Design Works is made of steel and is perfect for use in your camp kitchen or at home. The blade is finished with a handsome stabilized wood handle, and it comes with a nylon sheath for easy storage and transport.
