Medieval Functional Spiked Knights War Hammer Axe - TOPHATTER'S ARMORY DEALSBy the mid 1400s armor had developed to the point that it was almost impervious to a sword blow. That is when the knight or man at arms would reach for a good solid war hammer. With sound blows from a hammer, armor could be damaged and crushed, sorely affecting movement and the ability to defend oneself. This war hammer has a end spike as well as small spikes on the sides.
