War Hammers were developed during the late thirteenth century, created specifically to inflict significant injury to even an armored knight during a close combat. In battle, knights used the flat side to knock down and stun their enemy. Once the enemy was on the ground, helpless, the back spike was used to punch a hole through the helmet and deliver the death blow. At Museum Replicas, we carry English war hammers, German war hammers and war hammers inspired from late 16th and 17th century. Explore them all here
