Kozuchi Japanese Hammer for Hot Forge

The Katanas hammer and more.

The Japanese blacksmith hammer has a number of very interesting features for all blacksmiths.

An iconic forge hammer for the manufacture of Japanese katanas, it is used for the traditional forging of sword blades, but also knife blades and all types of objects made from traditional hot forge.

A powerful technical feature.

The shape of the Japanese blacksmith hammer calls and intrigues at first glance with its breakdown and its eccentric eye for the handle.

This form, however, is not due to chance but to an indisputable technical advantage exploited in an ingenious manner by Japanese blacksmiths.

This shift increases the impact weight and results in an amplification of the impact of the hammer's percussion on the anvil with the same arm movement and the same impact power as using a conventional hammer.

An ingenious technical feature.

This Japanese blacksmith hammer has undergone a double thermal treatment of the selective quenching type.

Indeed, if the heart of the breakdown is relatively tender, the outer envelope is extremely hard.

Again, nothing is due to chance.

This selective soaking system results in a significant absorption by the tender core of the backward motion produced by the impact of the hammer on the anvil.

This ingenious feature limits the effort by optimizing the impact movement.

A robust rodiner wooden handle.

This hammer has a robust rodiner wooden handle (or false acacia).

This wood with a dense structure and straight wire is known for its strength qualities and imputability, even in outdoor use and in wetlands.
