Hello Gents,
I'm finishing up a Japanese Cutler's Hammer (Dog Face Hammer) and I've seen in the past where some people prefer a fully Normalized hammer face, and others a hardened face. :les:
Could anyone explain how I would go about choosing (I always thought hammers should be hardened). If so how hard should they be?
Any insight you boys could pass on would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
