Question. In your profile pic that hammer looks small is that for tinsmiithing or metal forming on a small scale?

Re: Neckerchief slides
My grandfather had a hammer like that which he used for breaking chunks of coal too large to fit into the stove. The sharp end was used to “cleave” pieces off a larger chunk. He would pick up a piece, turn it and examine to find the right place to split it, then whack it with the point. The long handle gave enough leverage to provide a hard blow. Have no idea if that was the intended purpose of the hammer, but it worked well for that.

I know that it is called a Cross-peen hammer, and that some of them are used by blacksmiths, but I am not sure about one this small.
I peen my knives with a cross-peen hammer with similar sized head, but mine has a shorter handle.
