KAKURIChisel Hammer 4 oz (115g) Japanese Woodworking Carpenter Hammer for Chisel, Plane, Nail, Heavy Duty Japanese Carbon Steel Square Head Sivler, Made in JAPAN

This is a great hammer! The head is very well finished. I would give it 5 stars if the handle was about 2” longer and a bit larger at the grip. I have big hands. The head was a bit loose but that’s so easy to fix it is hardly worth mentioning. All wooden handled hammers are going to need the handle tightened from time to time. The handle is good quality wood, but it is bare wood, so I applied a couple of coats of tung oil. I would buy this hammer again.

Not a good sign when a hammer comes with instructions to tighten up the handle before you use it. Sure enough, it was so loose that it would wobble in the head. So I banged the end of the handle on the floor "per the instructions." The head slid down the handle so far that 3/8" of the handle now sticks out of the top of the head. So much for resetting the wedges to lock in the handle. As well, the diameter of the handle is sized for someone with a tiny hand...say someone about 8-10 years old. Looks like I get to make my own handle. Sigh....
