In the heart of late medieval Europe, where armored knights clashed and cavalry thundered across battlefields, new weapons were designed to break through the toughest defenses. Among these, the hammer hatchet stood out as a true innovation, a versatile weapon built to pierce armor and dominate the battlefield.
