I'm a fortunate man for sure, my wife gave me some new hammers for Christmas! Ergonomic hammers from Kayne & Son, they are forged and come dressed and polished. 2.5 & 2 lbs. The handles are short and I like the rectangular cross section. I also got the 2012 Knives annual and the Bill Moran "Damascus" DVD.

Steve,
Those rank right at the top along with my Brent Baily hammer. I just got a 2.5# ergonomic diagonal peen for my new shop in Aiken.

Mine are called "Hofi" in the link.
Actually Brent makes some real nice Hofi style hammers at near the cost of everyone else.
Very nice. Funny, though, I also got a 2.5# japanese style hammer and the 2012 Knives Annual.For my birthday a few days before I got a 22 quart roaster (giant crock pot) that is a fantastic quenching tank.
