October 31, 200817 yr Hand hammers are the "colonial" or 18th. century and earlier pattern cross peens that I have forged, especially the ones from H13. The ones I am having machined from S7 (and heat treated professionally,) feel great, balanced, etc, especially with the handles in the shapes I make. The one with my arm is forge, the others are machined. These weigh 2 pounds. Favorite power hammer is the Say Mak 60 from Tom Clark. Edited October 31, 200817 yr by Jymm Hoffman forgot weight
