When warriors relied on close range weapons, they needed ones that could deliver a devastating blow while being agile enough not to slow down their attacks. That’s the inspiration behind this Cold Steel War Hammer. Weighing just over 2 1/2 lbs, the badass tool is designed to be flung around with ease. The 5150 steel is heat treated to allow the head and spike to withstand extremely strong blows, and the handle is crafted from straight grain American Hickory. Even if you’re not taking it to an opponent in body armor, it’s the most devilish way to take down some drywall or handle a bit of demolition.
