What’s Your Favorite Pin Peening Hammer?
What’s Your Favorite Pin Peening Hammer?
I currently have 6 or 8 hammers but usually fall back to one or two that work well and just feel right in my hand.
When you guys are peening pins what’s your favorite hammer? Is it a regular ball peen hammer or a cross peen hammer or?
It seems like I’m always on the lookout for another hammer (kind of like the pro golfers that buy a new putter for each tournament).
Just curious about what you’re using.

Interesting.
Looking forward to replies.
I have some small hammers and a favorite, although I am not a knife mechanic I do peen occasionally.
Hopefully, pictures tomorrow.

I use a 2 oz. cross peen hammer, but seldom use the cross peen head.
I do almost all of my riveting with the flat head.

Here's some of my hammers.
The two longer hammers on top are a Japanese hammer and below that is one I hung a handle on.
The handle is Tiger Maple and of a length and shape I enjoy.

Do you have more pics of the top Japanese hammer, or of the fourth from left vertical hammer...extra long head?
Re: What’s Your Favorite Pin Peening Hammer?
I have many hammers, but only use a couple regularly...Here's one of my favorites.
I also have a 4oz ball pein that I use for many tasks.

I would be glad to get you specifics and weights tomorrow.
I was watching Japanese tradesmen in Youtube and was impressed with their hammers and I bought this one on Ebay from Japan.

I have a small craftsman and a handmade plastic handled with a brass top that if kept buffed keeps the pins shiney.

Here you go Tony.
The Japanese hammer has a flat and rounded face.

The only one I have is this TC504 Vaughan 4 oz. that I picked up at the fleamarket a few years back.

Love that long teach on the peen hammer.
That Japanese hammer is the bomb!
Re: What’s Your Favorite Pin Peening Hammer?
Not very sexy, but this is an antique 4-1/2" long cross-peen hammer (I don't know the weight). It was pretty rough, but after I smoothed the ends, it works well.

The center two hammers were just recently acquired and the large hammer at the bottom is what I use for most of my pivot pins.

Re: What’s Your Favorite Pin Peening Hammer?
These are my favorite peening hammers.
The small ball peen is actually made by Heller, you can see part of their stamp and logo on the side of the head.
Heller is known for their quality Farrier supplies.
I use this small hammer for handle pins when I'm installing thin bone handles or I use it to mushroom the rivet on the inside of the liner.
The cross peen hammer I use for most of my peening jobs, although I will go to a 4 ounce Craftsman ball peen hammer if I am installing 1/8" brass pins.
With the handle included, the Craftsman actually weighs 7.1 oz.
I did get some rivet hammers in today, they are for sale in my AAPK store.
There are two styles of rivet hammers and a small 2 ounce brass mallet, if anyone needs a that hammer.
