Long Description
Note: If you have a surface treatment, <head material> becomes <surface treatment> <head material>.
Horseman's:

The <head material> striking face is perfectly flat, and the <shape> neck leads back to flat shield-shaped sides and a spiked finial. At the back, a <counterbalance> counterbalances the hammer head perfectly, and two studded straps of <head material> protect the top of the <haft material> haft when parrying a blow.

At the back, a <counterbalance> counterbalances the hammer head perfectly, and two long studded straps of <head material> protect the top of the <haft material> haft when parrying a blow.
