caintuckrifle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I once saw a scythe peening hammer that looked similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 looks like a set hammer to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I was thinking set hammer also. I did notice that the handle is tilted towards the face and was wondering if it wasn't a form of body work hammer/set hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Sheet metal hammer. The big face distribute the blow to help minimize hammer marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Shears Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My best guess, a struck tool called a 'cheese fuller.' This definition came out of The Kenneth Lynch Tool Collection Catalog - "...tool is used by the blacksmith for spreading hot metal especially plate. It is similar to a flatter, but has a convex face." Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
