Shoemakers Hammer 13oz

Shoemaker’s Hammer.

Traditional Leatherworking Hammer for Shoemaking and Craftsmanship.

A must-have for any serious leathercrafter or shoemaker, the Shoemaker’s Hammer is a time-honored tool designed for shaping, flattening, forming, and setting leather with precision and control. This versatile hammer is built with both traditional shoemaking and fine leatherworking in mind—perfect for everything from hammering seams and forming toe boxes to smoothing glued panels and burnishing edges.

Featuring a forged steel head with a polished, slightly domed striking surface, the 30mm (1-1/4") face is ideal for distributing force evenly without damaging the leather. The 150mm (6") head length offers excellent balance across the hammer’s full 310mm (12-3/16") length, ensuring it feels natural in hand and responsive in use.

The carefully weighted 13 oz. (372g) design gives it enough heft to work leather and set glue lines effectively, without tiring the user during extended use. Whether you're seating a welt, compressing layers, or tapping down a saddle-stitched seam, this hammer delivers consistent, controlled results.

The ergonomic handle—typically crafted from durable hardwood or composite material—provides a comfortable, non-slip grip and superior shock absorption for long hours at the bench. Its tapered design gives added control for delicate adjustments and detail work.
