Neat little hammer. I am assuming you meant 1050 g?

 

[Tishler]

That,s right,i made a mistake,sorry.

Actually, I thought you were from Europe as they use the decimal as a comma in many cases. I assume it is used for forging? Does concentrating the weight over a smaller area help for certain techniques?

 

[Tishler]

Serbia is in Europe, and the hammer you're right, I use it for forging knives. Excuse my bad English.

Neat hammer! I'd love to see some of your knives and axes.

I am curious; How hard would you temper the head on a hammer that will be striking steel or iron all day? Is it all one hardness or is it deferentially heat treated?

 

[Tishler]

Thank hammer is differentially heat treated, and my knives and axes have on this forum.
