I have not used a Big Blue hammer so I can not speak to the differences.
Big Blu 3.5 lbs hammer: the price is $120 plus $12 shipping for $132 (listed on their web site)
IFI Hofi 3 lbs hammer the price is : $125 plus $10 shipping for $135 which is made and shipped from Israel.
The $3 difference......
Hofi supports IForgeIron with his blueprints (53 BP's in the 1000 series), his photos in the IFI Gallery (over 611), his posts (over 736), and providing IForgeIron quality tools for sale to the IForgeIron members, with a portion of the sales going to support IForgeIron. He has also donated tools to IForgeIron with the entire sale going to support the site.
My dealings with Hofi have been by internet, by phone, and in person. When Hofi goes out of his way to obtain a piece of steel from Germany to have material to build one (1) specific weight hammer in order to please just one (1) customer....well you decide.
