【Interesting Gear】Even its awkwardness is endearing! The result of metalizing the hammerhead shark

Discovered a hammer (hereafter referred to as "hammer") shaped like the shark known for its hammer-like head, the "hammerhead shark," and a hammer shaped like a great white shark's head. This unique idea is something I want!

Two types of metal hammers inspired by sharks

It seems that there is a hammer born from the idea, "If we metalize a hammerhead shark, we can really hammer in nails with a hammerhead."

The two shark-themed hammers were manufactured by Castem, a precision casting company located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

The shape is that of a rugged hammerhead shark itself.

This hammer, which was created with appearance in mind, is full of playful spirit. It looks difficult to handle until you get used to it... but when you think about it, you don't often encounter a hammer that is hard to hold. Conversely, it makes you want to try holding it.

It's finished as a cute hammer with a slightly alien-like form. If you had it, you might develop a fondness for it.

It seems they approach what is generally referred to as "play" with serious intent, having also established a paper airplane museum. Inside the museum, various paper airplanes are displayed along with Guinness World Record certificates. A hammer created by such a unique company makes you want it even more.
