Product Overview
This English war hammer is expertly based on an example from a private collection, offering a design that is light, fast, and well-balanced. Measuring 25-1/4 inches overall and weighing 1-3/4 lbs, this war hammer weapon is built for speed and control.
Circa 1430, as plate armor became more advanced, traditional swords lost effectiveness against heavily armored opponents. Weapons such as the war hammer became preferred for close combat due to their ability to deliver focused impact. This design reflects that evolution, combining reach, speed, and efficiency.
The hammer head is designed for both striking and piercing, while the American hickory handle provides durability and grip. Lighter than many comparable weapons, this war hammer weapon offers a balance between maneuverability and effectiveness.
Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts, this piece reflects historical form while maintaining practical usability for reenactment or display.
