Here’s a hammer you’d definitely notice in the bin.  When I first laid eyes on this 4 lb. sledge by Nulpa I was fascinated (of course) with the handle.  I keep thinking that there must be some super secret cool-ass reason for the bumpy, stair-stepped nature of the handle, but try as I might I can’t guess what it might be. 

Maybe the lumps add comfort?  Or perhaps extra grip?  Maybe it’s just a marketing gimmick.  It sure looks different all right, but not really in a good way.

Have any of you Toolmonger’s used such a hammer, and if so was it the experience that you hoped it would be?  Sound off and let us know in comments.
