This heavy warhammer from Windlass-Marto is a good option for a mass-produced warhammer. Of the available options, it was the one that best suited what I wanted, a heavy warhammer with a head and pick of sufficient size, since other options were smaller. Well, the hammer is not perfect since everything that comes from Windlass India is not. Manufacturing has its flaws. In my case, the head is not perfectly polished in all its parts, some scratches in the metal or dark spots, it will be something common, which denotes that the work is not in detail. The same thing happens on the side metal strips, it has stripes on the metal here and there, and the strips themselves are not straight and uniform, and they did not fit well centered on the handle either. The screws and rivets will also not all be well centered on each other. The wooden handle is rectangle shape but it is comfortable, and watching chapters of Forged in Fire I have learned that if it were circular, it would run off, that is why the rectangle shape is better and I can attest that it handles well. It has not been easy to find a video review of this weapon, but Tim Kennedy did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7nPqPaImyo Like I say, it’s not perfect but it’s look well from a bit far without looking at the details. I ain’t going to use it, although you never know, I do not think I will have problems opening a melon-head.
