who makes a good war hammer?

[bolus]

Anyone know of a good smith that makes a one handed war hammer? It seems the options I can find are replica stuff that Im not sure would be sturdy to actually hit something or mass produced stuff. I was hoping to find someone that makes traditional weapons but are actually functional.

a mace would be a second choice.

Doc, surely someone with your ingenuity and mad improvised shop skills can fab up something like this for hisself!


BTW- Didn't you get the memo about NOT bringing a war hammer to a gunfight?

If your serious, my friend could probably make anything you want. Just need to give him spec shots like size and weight...

Not sure I'm interneting right?

But I did find you some war hammer accessories. Don't worry about size.
They stretch.

I actually tried to make a mace out of a final drive gear out of a GM transmission but I cant weld very well.

I like this tactical war hammer but Im sure at $50 it would not last against plate mail




I'd like a traditional war hammer but this is a collectible so it is probably made of plywood and pewter.

If you want a functional one of the bottom I can ask about it...

This mother F weightlike 35 pounds and is a batch to lift much less swing... his dad made that for him and is a carrier machinist.

There you go with another Freudian slip Joe.

 

[CountryGent]

I don't have any experience with them, but, Cold Steel makes one.

Your a dirty old man - granted with good taste and in way better shape then I am.

I probably am straight up perv in comparison though - I curse like a sailor and ogle the ladies (my wife knows this about me lol).

 

[Joe13]

If you have any specifics as far as weight or length that would help but I sent him the pic and he said he could make one - I told him if you don't want it then I'm sure I can sell it.

I'm confused by this thread. You need a weapon that is effective against plate mail? Do you have like a time machine, and are planning to go back to the Middle Ages and become a knight?

There are many good tomahawk / axes on the market, if you have the need to go Viking on some opponent. Some have a blunt, hammer like appendage on the opposite side of the blade.

good question. Sounds like historical war hammer heads were 3-4 lbs and the handle 25-30 inches

 

[Medic!]

But if you can swing a 30lb hammer.
You get to nail his azz 10 times harder!
