Windlass Steelcrafts Medieval Knight War Hammer – Carbon Steel Head with Hardwood Haft and Langets

Description:

The medieval war hammer is one of the most recognizable weapons of the knightly era—a design built around a heavy, multifaceted head and a reinforced haft, crafted to deliver concentrated force at close range. This reproduction from Windlass Steelcrafts captures the historical silhouette with a solid, well-balanced build. The head features a multifaceted, slightly dished striking face with a long, thick, four-sided spike projecting from the top. On the reverse side sits a downward-curved, heavy beak. Small triangular side spikes emerge laterally from the head assembly. The head is finished in polished carbon steel and mounted securely to the haft. The haft is constructed from dense, smooth hardwood, with the lower third featuring small protruding metal studs for extra grip friction—a detail designed for gloved hands. Two long, polished steel langets run down the upper sides of the handle, secured with heavy rivets, protecting the wood shaft from wear. The butt of the weapon is capped with a square steel boot to protect the wood base and prevent splitting. This is a substantial, solidly built piece—ideal for collectors of medieval arms, historical reproduction enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of a well-made war hammer.
