Just like the title says, I forged this one from a smaller ball peen hammer. The head has been faceted on a bunch of different angles. The spike comes to a very fine point.

The handle is curly maple. I hit it with the torch and then sanded it smooth and treated it with tru-oil. It has an octagonal cross section.

Dimensions
Head - 5 1/2" spike to blade
Handle - 11 3/4"

Price - Sold.

I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.

Love it. It must have been a lot of work, but if you make more I'm sure they'll sell right away. Including to me.
