Warhammer

[Sam Salvati]

I am now working for Kerry Stagmer at Baltimore Knife and Sword, I am head of the blacksmithing department. Been doing alot of cool things, one is this warhammer with a upset 2" square head and 5/8" square shaft. The detail on the twist of the shaft is my "tortured souls" twist, little faces contorted in pain, brought on by the hammer the face on the hammer head was all hot worked in after it was upset. The head has a through hole, the square shaft was forged round then brought through the hole then welded then the top peened over like a little hat.

That is awesome! I have several Baltimore blades and they are some good looking and durable pieces. That is above and beyond though. What is the weight on it? How does it balance and rebound when swung?

Again, Mr. Salvati, that is stellar.
