About this genno hammer

The Kakuri Genno Hammer – Square Silver, Double-Wedge, 225g is a traditional Japanese woodworking hammer designed for precision-focused tasks. Unlike general-purpose hammers, a genno is purpose-built for controlled striking, making it a core tool for woodworkers who value accuracy and feedback over brute force.

This model is especially suited to fine joinery, chisel work, and careful tool adjustments. Its thoughtful proportions and balanced weight allow you to work confidently on detailed projects where consistency matters. Whether used at a personal workbench or in a professional workshop, it brings clarity and intention to every strike.

Performance & use cases

At 225g, this genno hammer sits in the ideal range for woodworking that demands finesse. It delivers enough mass to drive chisels cleanly while remaining light enough for precise taps when adjusting plane irons or fitting joinery. The square-faced head helps keep strikes centered, reducing the risk of glancing blows that can damage tools or workpieces.

The double-wedge mounting system plays a key role in performance. By locking the head firmly to the handle, it improves energy transfer and reduces unwanted vibration. This results in better control, clearer feedback, and less hand fatigue during longer sessions. The silver-finished head also makes it easier to visually align strikes when working on fine details.

In workshop environments across the UAE, where consistency and reliability are essential, this hammer performs day after day. It is well suited to cabinetry, furniture making, and instrument work, as well as general fine woodworking. Its balanced feel makes it approachable for newer makers while still meeting the expectations of experienced craftspeople.

How to use (quick guide)

• Use controlled wrist motion rather than full arm swings for better accuracy
• Align the square face carefully with the chisel or workpiece before striking
• Let the weight of the hammer do the work; avoid excessive force
• Use lighter taps for plane iron adjustments and fitting joints
• Store in a dry area to maintain handle and head condition
• Periodically check the handle for tightness and overall condition
