Battle/War Hammer, anyone?

[JayGoliath]

Cpl Punishment dropped this bomb recently about having a destructive device served to disarm together with his M-43 Khukuri.
Now why not tomahawk? Nevermind that. We have got enough posts about that lately and there was a particular project in the tactical hawk old vs New post (from forumite Bare Rib) that didn't surface inspired me to look around for one:

Anyways here is an initial design/concept for my Tac Hammer.
-Overall length is 24"/61cm
-Full .25"/6.35mm thick tang
-The head has 4 pyramid shaped points coming off of it. This is something that medieval warhammers had as well the purpose being that they focus the impact into those points generating an greater force at those points.
-The back spike is sharped on the underside the curve will hep in cutting cord, rope, and webbing, & for pull cuts (pierce wall and tilt handle up and pull.)
-The hook at the bottom of the hammer end can be hooking and binding a combatant, dragging, & so forth. The undercut of the hook also will aid in putting more weight forward on the hammer's striking head.
-Handle material would wither be Micarta or G10. The scallops on the handle material would also be on the tang of the hammer providing two good secure gripping points.
-The bottom of the handle has a prybar end to further it's possible functionality in entry situations.

And yes...i wept my precious tears every time i watched this movie.

That hammer would be awesome without the 'hook' under the hammer face. If you happened to go through something with it, that would totally hang up and be a pain in the a$$. The sharpened underside of the spike is unnecessary too, in my opinion, for a war hammers intended use (destroying stuff). The prybar, however, would be very useful.:thumbup:

Warhammers are a great weapon for smashing the crap out of stuff. I really like mine. It is a slightly modified Cold Steel Warhammer.

It should be made!!
