I only consider those hammer shaped objects, but maybe that's just me.

I have to agree. I Liked lzeplin lzeplin 's post with his Bugout "on sale" at Harbor Freight, but as someone who's bought and used quality tools for most of his life, I'm not much of a fan of their stuff.

There are a few things there worth having, but good vintage hammers are inexpensive enough and I've had my cheek cut by a chip off the face of a cheap hammer so I won't touch them.

Me either, my dad knows of a guy who was hitting 2 hammer's together to pull nails. A piece chipped off and stuck in his neck, blood squirting everywhere! I'm a estwing man myself..

Knives and hammers :thumbsup:

Here is a sweet little collection -

View attachment 954660


HAMMERS - from the top - clockwise -

• Japanese Framing hammer - my arms can't stand the shock anymore :confused:

• Warrington hammer - a cabinet makers tool that is still called in to action

• Stanley Framer with anti-vibe - the best thing I ever did for myself regarding driving framing nails UNTIL I bought a Paslode :D

• The Estwing Stacked Leather 16oz - the first tool I EVER BOUGHT. Started a job on Monday, but first went to the pawn shop on Saturday. This hammer has built lots and lots - including a few boats. Last fall I found some of the leather and the cap on the ground. Took me a few minutes to realize what I was looking at. I must repair !!!! Fortunately I found all the pieces.

KNIVES - From left to right and to the bottom.

• The very, very nice DAVID BOYE - cast cobalt folder. This is an excellent EDC for work and boating.

• A Spyderco Mule with Elmax blade - just showed up yesterday. A completely unexpected and very generous gift from woodysone. Truly came out of nowhere. He just decided to send me this very cool knife. I don't think that we have ever even had a BF discussion other than just posting in common threads. Why ME? Only woodysone knows - but I am grateful it will be in the rotation.

• My new JK - Hurley Creek. 3/16" x 2-1/2" of the finest JK O1. An excellent fixed EDC.

• My most utilitarian folder. Nothing special but always on hand in my shop or on a job site to do the smelly work.
A very IDEAL little liner lock. :)

There you go.

Cheers, Ray

I'm a hickory handle guy so I hang vintage heads or go Vaughan & Bushnell for new hammers, but Estwing is basically #1 for all steel so if I was to have anything but hickory it'd be an Estwing.
 
Now I'm waiting to see if anyone with one of the old Estwing stacked leather hunters posts here.

Tooth Brush ?
What's a tooth brush ?
Oh you mean for cleaning saws and files !
Yeah I'm in :
:) :D
You can't pick the wood out of one of those good Japanese saws with your fingers; they slice you up like you reached into a bin full of razor blades.

OOPS !

Oh looky there; a single bevel with the bevel on the correct side for a right hander. Those Japanese dudes !

Here's yesterday's carry with my Estwing shingling hatchet. I tried doing White Cedar sidewall and Red Cedar Roofing with it years ago and gave up on that after cutting myself more than once with it hanging in my holster. Back when we used to chop ceiling joist tails flush with rafter tops (a vestige of pre-circular saw construction) I still carried it in the truck. Now it lives in front of the Russian fireplace opening in our basement for splitting kindling, so I grabbed it heading down to the sheet metal shop and shot this pic on the bench down there. I added a couple old-school tools--my Yankee screwdriver which was state-of-the-art when I bought it in the '70s and a common driver that belonged to my father's father and likely pre-dated the introduction of the Phillips head.

Interesting light effect here. I've always used a combo of fluorescent and incandescent lighting in the two shops, but have gradually been changing out the (perpetually annoying) former to LEDs. I've got a new LED (plus an incandescent) on the right and an old fluorescent plus incandescent on the left.
