Description

Frankly, we hope you don't order one of these Palosanto mallets.  We feel strongly that these mallets are much too nice to actually use for hitting things.  If you're unable to resist the urge to order, please spend a few days meditating on an appropriate name for your mallet - it's a tool of the caliber for which you MUST grant names. 

After it has arrived and you have performed the christening ceremony (search YouTube), store it away in a velvet-lined case (search Etsy) somewhere safe.  Only take it out occasionally to polish the brass and to frame it in an artfully-shot Instagram photo. 

If you have no choice but to hit things with it, know that it is comfortable to hold and very well balanced.  The poly mallet head is replaceable in case you spend more time than you should hitting things with it.

Mallet Face Diameter:  50mm
Total weight:  24oz

The last stop in mallets

This is my first Palosanto tool, and it's such an upgrade from the cheap, dinky plastic hammer I'd bought from a leathercraft chain. It was heavier than I was used to at first, but the heft makes for definitive strikes, and it's easier to aim than I had expected. The poly head means it won't damage or mark your tools (I also like that this component is apparently replaceable, extending the life of the tool). The silky smooth handle does feel a little slippy, though I have yet to lose my grip. Investing in a well-made tool is an investment in your practice.

Shiny, heavy, and sexy. What more could you want in a mallet?

I got the bubinga handle. If you're on the fence and still using ye olde rawhide hammer(because I was!), you need to get into the Palosanto Mallet express. It packs a punch, which helps with accuracy when I'm using my stitching irons. I can't believe I went so long without a proper mallet. Highly recommended, don't forget to stare at it and marvel at the beauty that is this tool before using it.

In the name of all that is Holy!

My main reason for buying this specific mallet (and lots of products on this site) is the description! I just had to see this mallet that made a man fall in love with it. and by God, this is the most beautiful tool I have ever laid my hands on! The weight and balance are perfect (you can use it for hours without tiring, yet at the same time, it is heavy enough to actually punch when used), the craftsmanship is superb, it's just a mind blowing tool.
