The Cold Steel War Hammer

THE COLD STEEL WAR HAMMER The war hammer was basically the medieval solution to a guy who thought plate armor made him invincible. Spoiler: it didn't. The heavy hammer face crushes through the strongest plate steel in just a few blows. The back spike opens it up like a can opener. Knights hated this thing. That's how you know it works. Cold Steel's modern version keeps everything that made the original terrifying and adds a few upgrades. The head is drop forged from 1055 carbon steel and differentially heat treated, fully hardened at the striking surfaces for maximum penetration and crush, softer through the body to absorb the shock of heavy blows. It's not guessing. It's engineering. The handle is 30 inches of straight grain American hickory, topped with a pair of steel langettes to keep the head exactly where it belongs. Highly maneuverable. One hand or two. Your call. Historical European Martial Artists love it. Re-enactors love it. Zombies have not weighed in yet. They will. Weight: 35.3 oz Steel: 1055 Carbon Handle: Straight Grain Hickory with Langettes Overall Length: 30" Style: European
