Thanks! Yeah, I was extremely happy to find that in the box when it arrived.

I recently picked up a small lot of hammers, hatchets, and a couple other tools on ebay, and am trying to ID the maker of one of the hammers. I've searched to see if I could find the touchmark anywhere, but so far I've had no luck. Hammer weighs just shy of 3lbs, including the handle. Thanks!

After reading posts for the last couple years, I figured I'd finally join and say hi! Been interested in blacksmithing for many years, just never found the opportunity to give it a shot. Well, that changed a few weeks ago, and I've been taking a class locally. I've done two so far, but I'm already hooked! Looking forward to continuing to soak in all the knowledge I can here.
