I have both the forged and cast and I cannot tell a significant differance between either. They are both great hammers. The cast hammers are closer to the advertised weight I believe. From what I understand it is simply because of the process of forging and finishing the surface removes steel at different rates between different hammers. I will leave this post as it seems to agree with Master Hofi's opinion. I posted it BEFORE I read the whole thread. Let me say while we are discussing the Hofi hammer. I have attended at least 4 classes taught by Hofi. If there are any of you on this forum that haven't attended his hand hammer class I strongly encourage you to do so. I will be in New York again in about a month for his hand hammer class.

| hofe hammer question
does he offer a right handed angle pein hammer? Or are they just cross pein? I would like to have 1 of each, 2.75 f ( I would like to have the 2.75 cast but he may not offer that). So, put me down for a cross pein AND a right hand angle pein (if he makes them). James Allcorn Bois D'Arc Forge Blacksmith Shop

James, I believe that Glenn has already placed the order but recently enough that he might be able to add your's in. Glenn will probably PM you about it.
