Damascus art hammer by Mike Draper

[John M Cohea]

A good many of us knifemakers.myself included,make other things besides knives,just for the fun of it and to mix things up a bit.
ABS JS Mike Draper and his wife ABS MS Audra Draper are known for their damascus jewelry as well as their knives.
Here is a small 3 oz.damacus ball peen hammer with a curly maple handle that I recently acquired that was made by Mike,and let me tell you that it is absolutely flawless,and the coolest hammer I have ever seen!
Thanks Mike for a great piece of hammer art at it's finest!

Awesome. I would love something like that with a matching display stand for my office. Displaying a great big razor sharp bowie is definitely not on, but something like this would be a beautiful and tangible daily reminder of the craft that I love.

Very cool. I've seen some exstravigant Snap On tool boxes where that baby would look right at home.

Form, function and quite a bit of added beauty. Just great,
