Description

Cross Peen Hammer, 2.5 LBS, Northern Iron Forge

These are hand made in 1045 carbon steel with cold blued head. Head weight is approx 2.5 LBS or 1.1 kg.

Made on a flypress and finished by hand, each one is numbered and stamped with the logo of the maker.

The handles are in strong spotted gum, Chard and sanded to a fairly coarse grit for good grip, before being finished with linseed oil.

Nathan from Northern Iron Forge in Queensland stand behind every hammer, this is a tool that should serve you well for years to come.

Cross peen hammer:

The cross peen is probably the hammer shape most people would associate with blacksmithing, having one flat and one "peen" or wedge-shaped face.

The peen is more efficient at drawing out material than the flat face, acting as a wedge concentrating the hammer blow in a smaller area.

The cross peen draws out material faster in one direction (away from the sides of the peen), and moving metal very little the other direction.
