A while back I bought a bunch of cheap hammers on Amazon that were sold by Chinese merchants. The hammers were cheap and I would never in my life want to use it as is out of the box and packaging. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40127905/ Here's more about that from the first post.

Now, I was very skeptical about those hammer heads I took from the handles. I thought them to be cast iron and not at all something you could forge ( cast iron breaks under hammer blows into grainy fragments.) It was a 50/50 chance of that being the case really, but the seller was true about their word with it being drop forged steel.

I am pleasantly surprised and eager to buy more to modify.

Here is the example test piece in the photographs. It was one of the 2 pound heads and it is now forged into a rough and unfinished tool called a "set hammer", though it is not at all a thing to be swung, it is to be struck by another.
The square face is offset to give room for my hand on the side and a sense of being able to see what I am doing and not having a handle in my way. More about this to come later on when it is done!
