Product Details
This is one of the more deadly weapons that we stock so please refrain from using it in actual combat other than those that are carefully choreographed.
As armor technology advanced, knights were compelled to evolve their weaponry to match. The war hammer emerged as a pivotal tool for victory when plate armor became predominant. With its robust design, it delivers devastating blunt trauma, making it a formidable opponent on the field. The specialised beak of the hammer offers the unique capability to pierce through lower-quality armor, establishing it as an essential sidearm for heavily armored knights in combat.
Throughout history, this remarkable weapon was embraced by elite fighting forces, such as the French and Burgundian companies of ordinance, the legendary Italian Condottieri, and English knights. Its legacy is a testament to its effectiveness against the stoutest of adversaries.
Handcrafted from EN45 carbon steel, this war hammer not only boasts durability but also exudes a striking aesthetic appeal. The thoughtful design includes a handle wrapped in genuine leather, ensuring a secure grip that enhances control and comfort during use.
Inspired by a 15th-century original from the Wallace Collection, this war hammer not only pays homage to its historical roots but also serves as a conversation piece that will draw admiration from collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
