Blacksmith's Hammer 5.0 kg, Hammer JUCO Traditional, forged head and wooden handle

Blacksmith's Hammer 5.0 kg, Hammer JUCO Traditional is a heavy-duty forging tool designed for demanding metalworking tasks. The hammer features a fully forged steel head with a 5.0 kg mass that delivers high impact force for shaping, drawing out and flattening hot metal. A solid wooden handle provides natural shock absorption and a comfortable grip to improve control during repeated strikes in the workshop or at the forge.

Advantages

The forged head ensures consistent mass distribution and long service life under high thermal and mechanical stress. The 5.0 kg weight increases impact energy per blow, reducing the number of strikes required for heavy shaping and drawing operations. The wooden handle dampens vibration and offers tactile feedback, which helps maintain control during precise forging and reduces fatigue during extended use.

Suitable for

• Blacksmithing and general forging work
• Farriery and horseshoe shaping
• Heavy shaping, flattening and drawing of hot metal
• Workshop tasks requiring high-impact striking

Key specifications

• Head weight: 5.0 kg
• Head material: forged steel
• Handle material: hardwood (wooden handle)
• Design: traditional blacksmith's hammer profile for forging and heavy striking
• Intended use: hot metal forging, shaping and heavy strikes

How to use

Securely fit the wooden handle into the hammer eye and verify that the head is firmly seated before use. Heat the workpiece to the appropriate forging temperature and employ controlled, deliberate strikes to shape or flatten the metal. Maintain a balanced stance and use the hammer’s mass to deliver efficient blows rather than excessive force from the arm alone. Between operations, check handle security and the head for any signs of cracking or loosening.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as heat-resistant gloves, eye protection and hearing protection when forging. Inspect the wooden handle regularly for splitting or wear and replace the handle if any damage compromises safety. Store the hammer in a dry place to prevent handle deterioration and corrosion of the forged head.
