Awesome hawk! One question (and by no means a criticism): will the polished poll cause it so slip off hard surfaces when hammering? I used to watch my Granddad, who was a master carpenter, take a file to his new hammers and score the striking surface. I asked him one day why and he said it gives the hammer some "bite" when striking a hard surface (like a nail, pin, or wood stake) and cuts way down on ricochets. Was wondering what your thoughts are on this?

Great job - bet this would make quick work of just about any task ...
 
No, thats fine..Its a good question..To be honest lots of folks just like the look of a polished poll..Most people seem to want them that way so Lisa sells them like that..On a side note a polsihed face on a smithing hammer is very good because a good clean smooth hammer face wont leave marks on the work..
 
I'll take it!! Been wanting one like this. Paypal has been sent.

I got one of these (without the raised peen) and must also add these guys are great. Well worth the money.
 
This will be my 3rd 'hawk from Lisa. I'm sure I'm gonna like it as much as the other 2.
