War Hammer

When we think of weapons of war we sometimes look at the more modern weapons we are more familiar with. The war hammer we are most familiar with was in the mid evil time and was for the most part a three part device. One part of the head was blunt the other was pointed and would maim and the handle was a spike and could be used like a spear.

Usually a king would have a man with him who could use a war hammer when he went out of the castle and he could call upon the man to use it and even make a decision as to how it would be thrown. If the king called for the handle the king wanted the person killed, if the king called for the spike he wanted the person injured and if he called for the blunt he wanted the person stopped. The man using the hammer did this work by controlling the rotation upon release. The long handle allowed the user to carry a hammer with a lighter head but the longer handle would amplify the energy. The movies seldom if ever portrays the war hammer and we are accustom to seeing the spear, the lance, the ax the mace, yet in its earlier roots it probably was the blacksmith who used the original hammer in war as he had grown accustom to the feel in his hand and had passed out all the swords he had made to anyone who could carry one.

  Most shields have a double holding device one you slide the arm through and the other one is a hand hold you hold with your closed fist. By calculating the position of the arm a blow with the blacksmith hammer would brake your opponents left arm and send him into shock and this would allow you to push the sword arm away with you shield. The next blow would be a head blow and you could then move on to the next man and repeat the processes. Though Thor is called the god of war with his mighty hammer, it is highly likely that such a legend had its roots as a blacksmith used his hammer in war.
