The Mustad Forging Hammer is a professional-grade rounding hammer designed for the modification and making of horseshoes. It is engineered with a strategic balance between the hammer head weight and handle length to provide maximum power for light forging with minimal effort.
Key Specifications & Design: Dual-Sided Head: Features one flat striking face for standard forging and one rounded face used for bending, seating out shoes, and creating curves. Material: Forged from high-quality tool steel through-hardened to the correct hardness for impact resistance and longevity. Handle: Equipped with a premium American Hickory handle, known for its shock absorption and strength. The handle is large enough to be custom-shaped or rasped to fit an individual's hand. Secure Mounting: The handle is fixed to the head using a precise steel ring wedge to ensure a permanent, secure fit during heavy use.
