Description

Used for precise striking tasks requiring controlled force, the Hattori Genno is a traditional Japanese wooden hammer known for its compact, balanced design. Its dense, solid wooden head is carefully shaped and polished to deliver accurate, focused impacts with reduced vibration and minimal surface damage. The weighted head combined with a slender handle allows for fine control, making it ideal for assembling joints or tapping chisels during detailed woodworking. Its construction provides durability and reliability, ensuring consistent performance.

Safety advise

When using hammers, always strike with controlled force and keep fingers clear of the impact area. Ensure a secure grip to prevent the hammer from slipping and avoid striking towards your body or others.
