Posted: Thu 02 Jun, 2022 5:27 am Post subject: Two different warhammers |
|
|
I was doing some photos this morning and thought I'd throw down my warhammers for a couple of quick pics. The dragon hammer is by Tod's Workshop (not the Tod Cutler version). The other is A&A's well-known sized-down recreation of a hammer in the Wallace Collection. By complete coincidence, both original hammers are larger weapons that were likely 2-handed, despite the short hafts both are currently mounted on. The replicas are handy single-handed versions. They're both elegant and deadly. The top spike and side lugs might make the A&A more versatile, but going into battle with a dragon at your side would make you feel pretty bad@$$.

Two excellent hammers, Chad! It’s nice to see them in the same frame. One thing that most images lack is a sense of scale and perspective.
Of course more exposure to good hafted weapons is always nice to see. Thanks for sharing those!

Cool pictures. Thanks for sharing. Even though the A&A is more versatile, I wonder if it isn't heavier and less nimble...I think that's something to consider in a comparison (handling).

That motif of an axe or hammer with the head emerging from a monster's mouth appears in Iran as well as Europe, I have two blog posts (first and second) with photos of weapons which use it.
If someone ever dares to have the full-sized dragon hammer made as a pollaxe, I would be very interested to hear about it! Most repros do scale it down into a saddle axe.

I also would love to see a long-hafted replica with the original, larger-sized head!

Nice set. I got the unmounted Tod Cutler dragon hammer for Christmas and it's probably the best $220 you can spend on this hobby.
