For over two centuries the maker's family has specialized in mallets and agricultural implements. The heads are hand-fashioned from dense, heavy Japanese hardwoods noted for an ability to withstand impacts. The handles are made from Kashi (Japanese White Oak) for strength and longevity. Our large Commander mallet is used to knock together and adjust joinery in post and beam construction and driving stakes. The head is metal strapped to prevent splitting. Our 120 oz mallet has a head size of 5¼˝ x 5˝ x 9¾. The handle length is 36˝.
