I hand forge a single face, Japanese style hammer. The eye is       towards the back end and creates a dropping effect when             swung making this style of hammer easier on the arm in my         opinion.

    This hammer is about 2 pounds and made from YK30 steel. I        use guava wood for the handle - a commonly used handle            wood in Asia and I shape each handle to be ergonomic based      on if you swing right or left handed.
