Versatile 2.75 Pound Decorated Bladesmiths Hammer Guaranteed [fjOCLT20]

Weighing in at 2.75 pounds, this bladesmiths hammer has some decoration to spruce it up a bit.

The decoration work was established cold and then worked in at low red heats for more depth. It carries an antiqued finish.

The flat face is generously crowned. This hammer I put no 'poll' on, so it's more forward heavy, making it a very aggressive hammer for forge work.

Hung on a 15.5" hickory handle that is 1/2 octagonal transitioning to oval at the bottom of the handle. The bottom half has been flame blackened and oiled to better seal it. It has a purpleheart wedge in the eye.
