Master’s work. One-of-a-kind piece

Each piece is handcrafted by a Yakut master and is truly unique. Minor variations in appearance are a natural hallmark of genuine handwork

The Northern Guardian is a premium Batyya — the traditional Yakut chopping tool that has served Sakha people in the taiga for generations. At 2.5 kg with a 130 mm blade, it delivers serious chopping power while remaining controllable for precision cuts. The wooden sheath protects the blade and makes transport safe whether you are packing into the backcountry or storing it at your homestead.

This Batyya pairs naturally with a handmade Yakut knife to form the complete traditional Sakha toolkit. Where the knife handles fine cutting, skinning, and food preparation, the Batyya tackles firewood, shelter-building, trail clearing, and heavy processing. Forged by a Yakut master using time-tested techniques, the Northern Guardian is built to endure decades of hard use — a functional heirloom for hunters, bushcraft practitioners, and collectors of authentic Northern tools.
