Black Diamond's Yosemite Hammer has an oiled hickory handle for vibration dampening and excellent grip. Its 18oz. stainless steel head and a drooped pick for pin leverage and bashie mashing. Topping all this off is a biner hole for copperhead removal and a replaceable leash that’s attached into the end of the handle for easy insertion and removal from its holster. If you have to carry a hammer, the Yos Hammer's the one.
