Cold Steel War Hammer 2014

Weighing a little over 2.5 lbs., the War Hammer has proven to be popular with Historical European Martial Artists and re-enactors alike. Cold Steel's modern interpretation of the War Hammer is highly maneuverable and can be easily wielded 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 enormous hammer face (11/2" x 11/2") are fully hardened so they can withstand tough materials and heavy impacts without failing while the rest of the hammer is left soft to absorb the shock of heavy blows. 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 powerful impacts. To 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).
