My two favorite girls. Love these hammers!
I admit, I have a bit of an addiction when it comes to hammers that have interesting lines. I don't run across them often enough, and snag them up whenever I do.
The cross-peen is right at 2lb and I love it for most of my work. The dual radius on the peen is really nice for spreading out the metal on the smaller flint strikers I make.
The rounding hammer just came in the other day and is my pride and joy. While the round face isn't nearly as round as it could be, the edges needing radiused a good bit, she's so well balanced that I'm afraid to tamper with anything. Very much a delight to work with.
It was advertised as a 3lb hammer, my postal scale says it finished up at 3lb-14oz after I installed the handle. The best part is that I won it on ebay for less than half what a new 4lb rounding hammer costs.
