It's worth noting that the "Legge" one was made for me probably around 8 years ago. The whole "Hofi" thing didn't exist over here then and to be honest it doesn't really do much now. If you look at the "Legge" you'll see it's not a million miles away from the "Hofi". !

I think you will find that Hofi had already been in the UK demoing and promoting his hammer and technique through BABA and at other venues a lot longer than eight years ago, and if I remember correctly Tsur was his apprentice at the time who did most of the demoing whilst Hofi gave the commentary.

Some of our Guild members purchased hammers from him at these demo's, having said that they do not always take first selection by those who purchased them, many reverting back to former favourites, or alternatives they prefer.
