Cold Steel War Hammer 2014

Weighing a little over 2.5 lbs., the War Hammer is a collectible piece suitable for historical display and re-enactment settings. Cold Steel's modern interpretation of the War Hammer is highly manoeuvrable and can be easily handled with one or both hands. The head is drop forged out of 1055 steel and differentially heat treated. This means the point of the spike and the substantial hammer face (1 1/2" x 1 1/2") are fully hardened so they can withstand tough materials and heavy impacts without failing, while the rest of the hammer is left softer to absorb shock during use. The handle of the War Hammer has been designed to be equally tough. Made of straight grain American Hickory and measuring 30" long, it provides substantial leverage for controlled impacts. To help protect the handle from damage by edged tools, a pair of sturdy steel langets can be attached below the head with the screws provided. Some assembly is required. Instructions are included.
