“Standard” lump hammers are now back in stock (that is, the ones without any engraving). With 2.2 pounds of hardened-steel heft in the head, the Crucible Lump Hammer is the perfect tool for knocking large and/or recalcitrant things together and apart, plus it does a fine job of breaking up chocolate (after first placing said chocolate in a sturdy bag) for all your baking needs.

p.s. We do still have some “Anthe Hammers” available – same great lump hammer, but with a “Fancy Lad/Lass” engraving of our new headquarters on one side (and the extra $ goes right to our building restoration/renovation fund).
What is the status of the smaller hammers for nails?
Awaiting assembly best practices (we want to get it right!)
Fra-jeee-lay. It must be Italian!
The striking faces of the lump hammer- are they machined flat or with a slight convex/domed shape? Thanks.

Maybe you need a custom label for old lumpy: “content outside of box may be fragile”
“Fragile”… LOL
I happened to notice that the regular engraved (i.e. not the Anthe special) version is no longer listed in the web shop, after you ran out of stock a day or two back.
Is it being discontinued?
Not that it matters to me, as I already have one (and two other lump hammers as well, so a more-than-a-lifetime supply) — I’m purely asking out of curiosity.
And yeah, that “Fragile” sticker had me laughing, too! Unless they meant the actual box; I dare say most cardboard boxes would get a touch fragile when filled with lump hammers … ?!

Our plan was to do one run of them per year. We recently ran out of our first run. If we have the time, materials and money, we will do a run next year.
Righty-ho! Yeah, I can see why you’d want to not list them in the meantime, then. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!
Cheers,
Mattias
