The handle head is not sealed. The tip of the handle in the head is cracked/spilled. The wood of the handle was probably not sufficiently dried. I have doubts about the possibility of using this hammer for more difficult tasks, given the bad hanging of the head and the condition of the handle. Not recommended for serious use. Good name but poor quality control. I would look elsewhere. FYI, an 11 inch hammer weighs 1500g - 3.3lbs.
