Hammers aren't ANYWHERE near as good weapons. This my bloodthirst assures me.
Well, if your opponent is wearing plate armor a war hammer (which had a pointy end for metal penetration) was useful.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Butter knives make excellent substitute screwdivers, though.
I've hurt myself equally with a hammer and a knife, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You, living in weirdo SF, may have a war hammer in your cupboard you consider a household tool. Dollars to donuts Jesse's is a little more Home Depot than Homicidal Despot.

But how well would you hurt other people?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Did you find out in an ad?
No, I found out on some dorky E channel bit on X2.
I think of steak knives, cleavers, chef's knives, etc, as *both* tools and weapons. I mean, primary use is clearly as a tool, but anything that potentially lethal warrants special care in handling.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
What are some dance movies from the 80s?
SING! (I swear, I think the exclamation point is part of the title) hee! It's not, but Lorraine Bracco was the lead!
Dirty Dancing, definitely
Strictly Ballroom? eh, IMDB reminds me it's 1992

Just talking about stuff currently in my house? Probably the hammer, in my untrained opinion. A good swing that hit anywhere would hurt like hell. A knife, I feel like I'd have to get in closer and be more precise to do real damage, and I'd be more likely to hurt myself. Of course, I have no idea, and actually hope I never am involved in hand-to-hand in my apartment.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
What about Streets of Fire, eh?

Another dance movie from the 1980s: Cotton Club (well, it had the Hines brothers in it).

As a kravver, we're told we'll get cut in a knife fight, so just suck it up and don't be startled and hope you take them out before they get in a good one.
Hammers are easier to avoid.
