I have a friend that has been forging for a long time. He told me all of is best hammers are cheap home depot hammers. Some he has modified like that sharp angle that is at the edge of the face and transitions into a spot that is 45 deg from the face and into the side of the hammer (hope I explained that right) But anyway he takes it to the grinder and grinds down that sharp angle at the edge of the face so its more of a rounded area than a sharp corner.....and I am sure he has used MANY hammers over the years and I am also sure that some of them were probilly very expensive "designed for the task" type of hammers but he still sticks with the cheap ones
