I LOVE IT!
OK, no disparagement meant towards anyone, but just a note of what I did, and always do to enhance an item when possible-I went and got some of the best stainless wood screws at Lowe's and used them for putting my War Hammer together. I am a big guy, and have hard swings. I knew this could be an issue already. I could have used a synthetic to replace the wood handle, but wood has a nice flex to it, and I have yet to miss what I swing at. The only other thing I wish was available was a nice sharp steel spike for the top end, to make it possible for a sudden thrust from the top. I like this to carry around walking the fenceline at my 20 acres. Sure,I carry a shotgun and a handgun, but it is a nice tool to have for impromptu hammering of staples working loose, a nice snake and rodent send off and exactly the type of hand weapon I would want for a sudden encounter with a charging feral dog or coyote. Should it ever be a drugged out redneck, I would feel just as secure. I usually keep one in the back of my offroad ready truck, and I like having one behind the bedroom door to. If you have not seen the Cold Steel Proof testing of it, you should! Not a lot of bucks, and well worth it the first time you have to use it as a hammer or a way of saving your bacon. A $45 war hammer in my hand, and of awesome capability, is soooo much more valuable at a sudden moment of need than the $800 1911 .45 acp still in my holster! When I turn a bend in the woods and am getting personal with a threat suddenly-I want this in my hands!
