Crowsbeak War Hammer, famous in the 15th century, created to pierce through the strongest plate armor of the late medieval world. Designed for knights and mercenaries, this faithful reproduction combines authentic functionality with striking craftsmanship.

Forged for Power and Precision

Hand-forged from solid steel, the war hammer has a beak-shaped spike for armor-piercing thrusts, balanced by a hammer face for crushing blows. The hexagonal steel shaft ensures strength and historical styling, while the leather-wrapped grip with guard and pommel cap offers a secure hold. The included leather beak guard provides protection when not in use, making it both safe and display-ready.

Versatile Dual-Headed Design

With a hammer face on one side and a piercing beak on the other, this gave medieval warriors a decisive edge in close combat. Its dark finish and authentic profile make it ideal for reenactments, SCA battles, or as a centerpiece for any arms collection.

A Weapon of the Late Middle Ages

Used widely across Europe during the age of chivalry and mercenary warfare, the war hammer was essential in countering heavy armor.

Care Instructions

Keep dry and lightly oiled to prevent rust.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Condition the leather grip and beak guard occasionally with leather wax.

Note

Each war hammer is hand-forged by skilled artisans. Slight differences in size, shape, or finish are natural and highlight its authentic craftsmanship.
