I can say that I bought it with the great intention of using it for a long time. Oh I was so naive. I brought this into my beginner blacksmithing classes thinking it would be a good deal. It quickly became apparent that the edges are so serrated that they leave marks in your material you are working with, the curvature of the handle borders on acceptable, and the small gaps left after assembly at the factory are of poor quality - the perfect fit is held together by something - some glue. If you're looking for a cheap hammer that can be used for a thing or two then this is it, but don't expect absolute quality or durability.
