Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship Brand KAKURI Corporation was founded in 1946 in Sanjo City, the leading production area of cutlery in Japan. We manufacture superior quality and functional products, such as gardening tools, saws, chisels, and professional carpenter tools. Leveraging over 70 years of experience, we design hand-made products individually and select only high-quality items to sell.

Product Features Quality Japanese Cypress Handle: The lightweight, soft, and comfortable handle is made of traditional Japanese cypress, used for the highest-grade Genno. It is equipped with a vinyl cover to protect the base from impact.

Double Head Japanese Steel: The forged Japanese steel head is flat on one face and slightly curved (convex) on the other. The flat side is for normal use, and the domed side is used at the end of nailing to avoid damaging the wood.

Heavy Duty Wedge: The head and handle are firmly fixed in place with a wooden and iron wedge hammered in a cross pattern, making it strong and hard to rattle.

KAKURI Hammers: A Leading Brand for Beginners and Professionals KAKURI, as a specialized manufacturer of carpentry tools in Japan, produces not only hammers but also high-quality planes, chisels, saws, and woodworking knives.

The Japanese traditional woodworking hammer, called "Genno," has a double face. The flat face is used for most hammering, and the curved "Kigoroshi" side is used for the final nail strike to prevent surface damage.

All KAKURI hammers are made in Japan by master craftsmen, with the skills and craftsmanship that have been consistently manufacturing carpentry tools since 1946.

How to Use the Japanese Woodworking Hammer: 1. Chiseling: Great for hitting Japanese wood chisels for accurate woodworking, such as cutting, mortising, chopping, paring, and shaping. 2. Adjusting and Setting Planes: Essential for adjusting the blade of Japanese block planes to achieve a beautifully smooth wood surface. 3. Nailing: Ideal for hitting nails, especially when used with a Japanese woodworking drill (KIRI auger) to create a pilot hole for more precise and quick nailing. Start with the flat face, then switch to the domed face for the final strike to avoid damaging the wood.
