Jim Blurton Nailing Hammer

The Jim Blurton Nailing Hammer is engineered for efficient and accurate nail placement. Its jaws include an inner bevel or cutting edge that aids in “ringing off” excess nail without damaging the adjoining hoof wall. The hammer’s handle, typically made from high‑quality hickory, is slim and grooved, giving the farrier a firm grip and good “whip” (follow-through). Available in both 10-oz and 12-oz versions, this tool balances strength and finesse, suitable for a broad range of hoofing tasks. It is commonly used by professional farriers who demand consistency, durability, and precision in their tools.
