Batch O' Hammers

[Sam Salvati]

Forged all these hammer heads at my last shop before it closed down. All are 1045, all quenched in brine with a touch of dish soap. All the handles are hickory, single hardwood wedge and single steel wedge. 2 cross peens, 3 offset Japanese cutler's/dog head hammers and a rounding hammer.

Nice job Sam.

How heavy, and how long are the handles of the three in the center?

Nice work Sam. The handles look like they have nice contours to them.

Oooohhh....I like the Japanese style! Sweet!!!

 

[Sam Salvati]

thanks guys

Shawn, they are about 2 pounds, i'll have to measure the handles tomorrow, there is a long medium and short though.

Burton, I have been testing and prototyping the handle contour, with these I have it down perfectly it is an incredible feeling to have the hammer fit so well in the hand (and it keeps you from choking up).
