Polished Octagonal Japanese Hammer

Polished Octagonal Japanese Hammer

Designed to propel Japanese chisels, these make excellent general-purpose hammers for driving nails or “adjusting” setups. The black fiberglass handle shaft, wrapped in a hard black rubber hand grip, provides comfort and durability. Handles are a bit long for the head weight, so you can choke up for control or swing from the butt end for power. One face of the steel head is flat, the other domed. A remarkable value for the price.

225g model weighs 8 oz. with a 12" handle and a 3-1/8" head.

375g model weighs 13.2 oz. with a 13-1/2" handle and a 3-5/8" head.

Please Note: For metal headed hammers, the weight listed refers to the weight of the hammer head, not the whole hammer.
