[TheForge] Dog head hammer?

[Jerry Frost]

Looks like a cutlers hammer of some sort. I've never 
heard of a dog head hammer and don't know where some 
folk come up with these names.

Being unbalanced isn't necessarily a bad thing. This 
one looks like it's almost fitted to a particular hand. 
With the face so heavily weighted, the head mounted at 
an angle and the hatchet like handle I'd say it would 
be a very accurate hammer.

Wrought iron is.

Hi all,

   What, pray tell, is the purpose of a dog head 
hammer? Looks like a
   rather unbalanced and ungainly lump of metal.
