This is one of my favorites--A Japanese-style metalsmith hammer with a high-quality steel head slightly domed on one side and flat on the other. BOTH sides have bevel edges so as to avoid nicking the metal with the tool. The head weighs about 5 oz., and overall the weight is 8 oz. The hardwood handle is well secured. Overall length is about 9 1/2", and the head is about 3/4" square and about 3" long. This is a hard-to-find tool that you will find very valuable.
