Cons- I did have to smooth the face and peen with a grinder. It had some sharp edges.
But am I happy I did. The quality is amazing. Perfect forging. Perfect grind and shaping. Incredibly well-secured handle. In addition to the handle stickers identifying the hammer, the head is stamped with the Picard logo and "Made in Germany." Nicely balanced.
Like all forging hammers, this will need final dressing & polishing of the working faces. I will also strip the handle. The handle, by the way, is ASH, not hickory (as given in the description). Picard makes the hammer with both under slightly different stock numbers. While I knew the given number was for the ash handle hammer, you never know! (The hickory model is more expensive.)
My first Swedish pattern hammer and I'm liking it a lot.
Big thumbs up.
Update: 9/6/17 This will be my last Picard purchase from Amazon. Initially working out the very course grind marks was interesting, but after another session with the hammer yesterday, no more Picards unless I can see it in person. I'd planned to buy a lighter weight hammer, but will go with another brand. "Made in Germany" fell short on this one. A caveat; If you're looking for a metal working, blacksmithing type hammer, this would be fine, but I'm using it to peen blades, so smoothness is important for my purposes.
Those that have not experienced Swedish pattern hammers don't know what they are missing. This is my first one and I doubt I will purchase additional German pattern hammers unless I require another straight peen.
At some point in the not-to-distant future, I contemplate pairing it with the lighter version. For those new to blacksmithing, I'd recommend the lighter hammer.
I got this for my 12 year old son, but found that I used it more than he does. He prefers a 500 gram hammer that is very similar.
Quality is great. I'd also like to get a little heavier 1500 gram hammer just like it.
