 Bladesmith's Custom Hammer
This hammer I made to order for a bladesmith. It's got my five-dot-T touchmark, and has NABS stamped into it, an acronym for a society of lanky smiths. Being that this is a family forum, I shouldn't tell you the name. I just so happened to recieve the order, finish the hammer, and ship it out in five days. And I've still got cabinet knobs to do from six months ago    |

Oh yeah! It's 4150 steel. Hardened and tempered. Wieghs about 2-1/2, 2-3/4 pounds. Today I order enough 1-1/2" square 4140 to make a mess of hammers. That size will yeild a hammer of approximately 2-1/4 pounds. Will be offering those for sale! |

Sam, 4150 is a deep hardening steel, and I had the first roughly 1" of the face to temperature. So at the most, the face is hardened back an inch. I'm not sure exactly how deep this particular steel hardens, but it is deep hardening. Andy, actually it's four, some of those are rejects though. Thanks |
