[Kondo] Forged Solid Steel Setto Striking Hammer Head Only - 500g (1.10 lbs) [KMF030105]

This handcrafted [Kondo] Setto Hammer (Striking Hammer) head is a precision-oriented implement engineered for fine, delicate material clearing. Operating as the most lightweight selection in the series to grant you absolute control over impact velocity and tactical hand feedback, this 500g head is ideal for executing subtle micro-adjustments on fine joints in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), detailing small garden accents in Japanese Gardens, and driving specialized character carving chisels (Jibori Nomi) for intricate inscriptions.

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.
