This was a great replacement for a 100+ year old hammer! The octagonal grip was the same as the one I replaced back in the 60s. This hammer is a working heirloom in a 4th generation of southern carpenters and I couldn't have been more pleased with the handle. Now to spend some time and smooth out the handle with sweat and use to get that beautiful hickory patina.
