Japanese Woodworking Hammer: The Genno The traditional Japanese woodworking hammer, known as the "Genno," features a double-faced head, with one flat side and one slightly curved "Kigoroshi" side. The Kigoroshi is designed to drive a nail into the wood without damaging the surrounding surface, making it an ideal tool for precise and delicate woodworking tasks.

Crafted with Heavy-Duty Japanese Steel All KAKURI products, including the Genno hammer, are manufactured in Japan by skilled Japanese craftsmen. The hammers are made with high-quality Japanese carbon steel, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The wooden handles, crafted from natural Japanese oak, provide a comfortable and secure grip.

Versatile and Easy to Use The KAKURI Genno hammer is designed for a variety of woodworking applications, from chiseling and adjusting planes to precise nailing. The moderately weighted head requires less force, making it easier to control and use with accuracy. The dual-faced head allows users to start nailing with the flat side and finish with the domed Kigoroshi for a smooth, damage-free surface.
