Narex 460 gram 16 oz Beech Wood Carving Mallet

Very solid product at a reasonable price. You can make your own, which I highly recommend. But whether this is a gift for a friend or loved one, or if it is for yourself, this is a good mallet. It’s smooth on all edges. Laminated together with a good selection of birch wood. The handle is mounted very solid. Then sealed with a clear oil or varnish, not sure which. Should last a long time.

I have been using this mallet for about a year. All corners/edges are rounded nicely, making it very comfortable for me to hold for long wood chopping/paring sessions. The mallet has held up well. Another good tool from a good manufacturer. EDIT: After re-sanding to round the edges more, and finishing with BLO, this is my go-to bench mallet for chiseling. So comfortable. At 16oz, I consider it the perfect weight for fine chisel work. I also have the Thor mallet, but continually reach for this one instead. With it's wide (but not too wide) face, I'm guaranteed to hit my target every time.

Perfect weight and balance for a mallet to work with a wood chisel! Strong beachwood butcherblock head with well made handle and wedge. A very well made product. Gotta go to eastern Europe to get old school quality that the USA doesn't make anymore.

Good hammer, only wish it was a few ounces heavier.

I was going to build a mallet. You know, how all of the woodworking YouTubers do as a rite of passage. But real life and projects got in the way. So, I bought this mallet instead and thus far, I've been pleased. It is priced right, hasn't gotten damaged, even with my hulk-like strength :) If you're looking for a solid mallet at a good price, I recommend this Narex one. I've not yet bought a bad Narex product.

This has held up very well while building a large trestle table. All mortise and tenon joinery and I've carved them out using this mallet and chisels. Comfortable grip, good balance, and not a lot of vibration with hits. I've used it for hours at a time and not had a complaint.

I love this mallet - use it for timber framing and general chisel work. My brother used it to frame out a deck we made and loved it so much I bought one for him to show my appreciation of his help.

Built hellferstout! And, it’s rather damned near too nice to use. But - 😎
