Product Overview
This late period war hammer is constructed entirely of steel, featuring a strong spike balanced against a wide hammer head. The cord-wrapped grip provides a secure hold, while the overall design reflects the structure of a traditional war hammer weapon. Measuring 23-1/4 inches in length and weighing 3 lbs/4 oz, it offers a solid and well-balanced feel.
Dating to circa 1575, this war hammer represents a German design used during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The head combines a durable spike with a broad striking surface, creating a functional and historically accurate form.
The grip is wrapped with cord for improved handling, and the all-steel construction ensures durability. Crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts, this war hammer weapon is based on an original piece housed in the Nurenberg Museum.
