"The hammah that John Henry swung,
It weighed over nine poun',
He broke a rib in his left han' side,
And his intrils fell on the groun',
And his intrils fell on the groun'."

-Onah L. Spencer, _John Henry_. Early 20th cent.

This weapon falls into the Maces & Flails category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

The hammer is a novelty weapon with mediocre combat performance which you can only find in vaults, most notably Crazy Yiuf's cottage. Although functional early on, their mediocre damage output makes them a poor choice after the earliest floors. Keep an eye out for a good mace, flail, or morningstar to replace it. Due to its superior speed, even a whip is often a better weapon, particularly if it has a good brand such as electrocution.
