Description

The C.S. Osborne Rawhide Maul No. 393 is an essential tool for leatherworkers who need a durable and reliable striking tool that offers both precision and protection. This mallet is designed to safely strike leatherworking tools, such as chisels, hammers, and stamps, without causing damage to the tools or the leather itself. The maul is crafted from high-quality rawhide, which provides a firm yet non-damaging blow that is ideal for working with delicate leather pieces.

This handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use, which is important for leatherworkers who spend hours working on intricate projects. The overall design of the maul ensures a perfect balance between weight and strength, allowing you to apply just the right amount of force when striking tools or stamps.
