These hammers are forged from best quality tool steel in a manner that compacts the steel. This gives a dense hammer head which is then carefully tempered so that it is tough, hard and durable. Each hammer head is skillfully machined for balance and control and one face is ground with a crown. The handles are Kashi (Japanese White Oak). Choose a larger size for large chisels and heavy cuts and a smaller size for small chisels and light, delicate cuts. Overall length is 13-1/2".
