Our hammers are crafted from 4140 steel, which is known for its excellent strength and durability.   The steel is processed by machining, grinding, and heat-treating here at Yukon Forge.  The process produces a very high-quality forging hammer you will use for years to come. 
 
It's said that the magic in a good forging hammer is in the handle.  We start with hickory and shape the wood with heavy forging in mind.  We grind the proper proportions to give the hammer maximum control and forging power.   For the proper grip, we burn the handle and coat it liberally with boiled linseed oil.  The hammer's eye is machined with a distinct hourglass shape to lock in the handle.  We top off the handle over the eye with a hardwood wedge and metal wedge, both are glued in and topped off with epoxy.    This process gives the hammer the right grip and feel for heavy work. 
 
We put a lot of love and care into each of these hammers.  This is a reliable and effective tool for farriers/blacksmiths, bladesmiths, and metal workers.  Its well-balanced design and quality construction contribute to improved accuracy, efficiency, and overall performance in forging.
