We’ve swapped the original 304 stainless steel for 440C stainless steel, a tougher, wear-resistant material with a hardness of 59–60 HRC. That means this hammer holds up beautifully over time — even with frequent use — without sacrificing the control and accuracy needed for detailed leatherwork.

The handle is crafted from purpleheart wood, not just for its rich color, but for its strength and dense, smooth texture. It feels great in the hand, especially during longer crafting sessions. The balance is spot-on, making each strike clean and controlled — perfect for precise stitching or tapping work.

What sets this hammer apart is its ability to reach those tricky spots — like the center of a leather bag or tight stitching areas — where flat jaws or standard hammers just can’t get in. You get clean, sharp results without putting your leather at risk.

* Note: This Hammer is made from high-quality 440C stainless steel, which achieves a hardness of 59-60 HRC after heat treatment. Due to the steel’s high hardness, minor surface imperfections, such as small dents or faint tool marks, may be visible during the polishing process. These marks are not considered defects, but rather a natural result of the polishing and manufacturing process. Please take this into consideration before making your purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
