Good hammer, polished head, good wedges, straight handle not curved. It has some small scratches which I think are from storage or handling. I was looking for a Hart T-16 that I had many years ago. I stopped there. I'd rather choose one from the closet like I did before. , because the price is the same for all and I felt it, I checked the grain on the handle and chose the best one. However, with what's available these days, this isn't a bad branch hammer.
