  • Finish: Hammer face is ground to a 120-grit finish and buffed for a semi-polished, semi-satin appearance.

  • Heat Treatment: Each hammer head is heat treated and tempered before being attached to the handle.
  • Handle: Carved from 2" thick hickory, shaped for comfort during extended use.
  • Grip: Handle designed for a comfortable grip suitable for different hand sizes.
  • Wedge: Head is secured with a mahogany wedge, providing visual contrast with the hickory and steel.
  • Finish: Several coats of linseed oil applied to the hammer and handle for protection.
  • Hot-Oiled Finish: Hammer heads receive a hot-oiled finish, resulting in a deep bronze color from the tempering process.

  • Durability: With proper care, the hammer is designed to last for years of use.
  • Functionality:
    • Round Face: Primarily used for aggressive drawing down steel in all directions.

    • Versatility: Angle of the hammer allows for more aggressive and selective drawing of steel.
