Designed as a direct response to low-quality imitations flooding the market, the Maker line delivers the same attention to detail as the premium Fretz line, using hand-polished 420 stainless steel heads paired with beautifully formed, oil-finished American Ash handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MKR-1 features two working ends: a slightly rounded face that imparts the classic planishing mark found on handwrought non-ferrous metal, and a flat face for refining those rounded marks to near smoothness. The result is a versatile, well-balanced hammer with a bold modern profile — ideal for smoothing forged metal with both character and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Maker line achieves its lower price through a slight redesign of the head shapes and by substituting North American Ash for the more expensive Padauk wood used in the premium line. Functionality, balance, and finish quality remain consistent with the standards Fretz is known for. \u003cem\u003eMade in Vietnam.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-polished 420 stainless steel head for durability and a refined finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly rounded working face delivers classic planishing marks on handwrought non-ferrous metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat working face refines round planishing marks to near smoothness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-finished American Ash handle for a comfortable, balanced grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold new head profile — a redesign of the classic planishing form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame quality standards as the premium Fretz hammer line at a lower price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped by Bill and Jordan Fretz as a quality alternative to low-cost imitations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e420 stainless steel, hand-polished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerican Ash, oil-finished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRounded (one end), Flat (one end)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.4 oz.
