Hammer?

[Interested Party]

Some sort of spike driving hammer? As in railroad work, though for that it is a few pounds too light for a spike that big? The octagon shaped head would not lend itself to stonework. the head of a mason's hammer is used to shape brick and stone with the edge like a set chisel.

Idea #2: Could the spike be used to move logs around and the hammer be used to make log rafts? Setting log dogs?

Nice hammer. A real head scratcher.

Here is another image of the head.

Kind of a knife shaped or dagger blade.
