Drop-forged high carbon steel head, that has been hardened and tempered with a lacquer coating for rust protection. Traditional hickory shaft for strength and flexibility. This hammer would be a useful asset in the prep workshop with a small chisel or pin vice. 

Always wear suitable safety glasses or goggles when hammering. Never strike two hammers together. Be conscious of who is around you when hammering nodules or other rocks, and make sure that they are standing a safe distance away.
