Artist and metalsmith Rachel Kedinger machines each crab hammer by hand, head and handle alike, on a lathe from solid brass. The crisp, clean lines of this traditional method are complemented by a matte, satin finish across the tool’s surfaces. Handsomely designed with subtle detailing, thoughtfully crafted one by one, and weighted in the hand, a more rewarding object with which to enjoy your favorite crustacean is not easily found. Rachel makes this signature culinary tool at her one-woman studio in Philadelphia.
