Stonemason's hammer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A Stonemason's hammer has one flat traditional face and a short or long chisel-shaped blade. It can thus be used to chip off edges or small pieces of stone without using a separate chisel. The chisel blade can also be used to rapidly cut bricks or cinder blocks.

This type of hammer is also used by geologists when collecting rock samples.

[edit] Trivia

The Norwegian municipality of Iveland has a stonemason's hammer in its coat-of-arms.

Also known as a SCUTCH
