A Must Buy This hammer was a very good purchase. It has held up to every test that I have put it through, including punching the beak through several layers of sheet metal. The only damage it has sustained are scratches to the head and beak. It also developed a slight bend in the shaft near the head, but I do not blame the manufacturer, because I have tested this hammer HEAVILY. A must buy for those who would like to get into collecting medieval weaponry.
Stylish and meaty feeling in your hands. Only downside is my hands are a bit too big to comfortably 2-hand it
Solid and with good weight. I’m very pleased to have purchased it.
