The Mustad City Head Forepunch (also known as a Mustad City Head Stamp) is a specialized forging tool designed for punching precise nail holes for flat-headed nails, such as City. It is engineered for durability and professional use in shoemaking, specifically optimized for the North American style of shoeing.

Key Specifications & Care:
Target Nail Type: Specifically developed for flat-headed nails.
Head Material: Crafted from air-hardened tool steel to ensure long-term durability and minimize the risk of splitting.
Handle: Features a high-quality American Hickory handle, firmly mounted with a steel ring wedge for a secure grip and easy replacement.
Operating Temperature: For optimal results and tool longevity, use at low forging temperatures between 1,112°F and 1,292°F (600°C – 700°C).
Critical Care: As it is made of air-hardened steel, the head must not be cooled in water, as sudden temperature changes can damage its integrity.
