KAKURI Small Hammer Double Face GENNO 6.5 oz, Japanese Carpenter Hammer for Woodworking and Crafts, Heavy Duty Japanese Carbon Steel, Dual Head, Wood Handle, Made in JAPAN

I just returned a similar hammer that I bought for $10 cheaper, thinking they'd all be the same. I was wrong. The other "tool" was merely a hammer shaped object, made from mild steel and which deformed every time I struck it against my desktop jewelry anvil. It was so soft that it would have marred the fi e wired I needed to flatten & shape. -But after I got this hammer, I knew it was the right tool. It exuded Japanese craftsmanship as both flat & rounded faces were properly tempered to strike true, the rest of the body was coated in enamel to protect the steel and it was carefully fitted into the handle, which was polished soap-smooth. On wire, it swings well and had the right amount of heft to it. A perfect tool!

Love the small size but feel of a solid larger hammer. Was perfect for my hobbies. Well balanced, solid strike.

Well built. Would have liked a seal coat on the handle. I took care of it. Great for small type work.

Beautiful tool!

Swings nice!

I've used this hammer for a few months now and I gotta say I love the size l, it's easy to carry this hammer anywhere(in pockets or pouches) I use it for finish carpentry and it is good enough to handle baseboard

This little hammer is quite nice. Great hammer for tapping chisels or getting the blade and chip breaker out of sharpeners. Definitely find it very handy.

I was looking for a good woodworking claw hammer and liked the reviews on this one, but on arrival found that it’s better use is probably only for small projects. I’ll keep on looking for the bigger one I need.
