How to use Japanese woodworking hammer
1. Chiseling
Great for hitting Japanese wood chisel. It enables accurate woodworking with a chisel, such as cutting, mortising, chopping, paring and shaping, etc.
2. Adjusting and setting plane
For Japanese block planes, it is essential to adjust the blade with a Japanese hammer. With the right adjustments, you can make the beautifully smooth wood's surface.
3. Nailing
It is an ideal hammer for hitting a nail. If you make a pilot hole with a Japanese woodworking drill (KIRI auger) in advance, you can nail more precisely and quickly.
Please hit with a flat face at first. When you nail mostly, change to a domed face for finish strike. The domed face head does not damage the wood surface.

The hammer head is very nice but the handle is cheap. It is not well finished and the locking wedge is already coming lose after a couple hours of use. I will most likely need to put a new handle on eventually and fix the wedge immediately. For the cost, item should be better quality.

Disappointed the hammer came with face scars on convex surface, dings on handle, and handle loose in head. In fact handle is improperly put in head slanting noticeably to 1 side.
