Michael Stein Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi guys Do any of you know where to get the Japanese style of forging hammers. I´m not sure what they are called or even if they are available any where. I had an old danish hammer in that style but i lost it while i was moving. Hope you can help me. Thanks Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Gregory Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Pictures don't do my hammer justice, Tyler! Guys, this is a really well balanced hammer... frankly, I think my skill level will likely be wasting this beast for a while, until my forging skills develop! Ty, your message box is full! I'll call you tomorrow morning! Edited July 9, 2007 by Matt Gregory Matt Gregory NABS Member NoAssBlacksmithsSociety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dburnard Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Cool hammer pics! I like my homemade japanese forging hammers, too. As an FYI, Japan Woodworker is selling pretty nice forging hammers now in a nice variety of weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
