I had made this hammer in 2009 after lusting over Jesus Hernadez' hammer I saw at the Fire and Brimstone hammer in. Jesus kindly sent me drawings and measurements and I forged one as close as I could to the same specs, however I put a long handle on it. Watching the recent W2 katana video I saw again and it was refreshed in my mind how damn good he is with it and I decided to shorten my handle also, and here it is.

It weighs 5 pounds.

Nice work, Sam. Seems like the balance would be awkward. No? Are you comfortable swinging it?

Thanks Tom, now using it I can really say it's pretty neat. Balnce is completely different from a regular hammer, but you can really move metal once you get used to it.
