Item Description
This handcrafted [Kondo] Setto Hammer (Striking Hammer) head is a high-mass driving engine designed for serious material reduction and aggressive rock shaping. Engineered within the heaviest tier to generate maximum kinetic energy, this 1300g head provides unyielding power when fracturing tough stone layers or driving large pitching implements in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), seating monumental rocks in Japanese Gardens, and clearing broad planes in architectural masonry.
The monolithic head is forged from solid high-grade tool steel, featuring professional double-faced hardening on both striking surfaces to prevent flattening under metal-on-metal impact. This product is supplied as a Head Only, allowing you to custom-whittle and fit a handle of your choice to the traditional rectangular eye. Highly suitable woods include Kamatsuka (Ushigoroshi), Shirakashi, Gumi, Yamazakura, or premium Hickory. ⚠️ WARNING & INSTALLATION NOTE: For independent handle installation, you must carefully whittle and sand the wood tip for a flawless press-fit inside the tapered rectangular eye. Always secure the head firmly with a proper wedge; striking heavy steel chisels with an improperly secured hammer head can cause the head to detach, posing severe physical danger.
