So next time would it be better to CNC the serial numbers to avoid creating stressed spots?

Or electro-etch. Or EDM.
There's a lot of historical class to stamping them by hand.
But that's all Monday Morning quarterbacking.
These guys are doing a da**ed fine job!

I think any significant change to a forged piece prior to heat treat comes with a measure of risk as does the geometric detailing of the forging die itself. Sharp corners are to be avoided if at all possible. Stamping, etching or milling marks like serial numbers or logos would probably be better done after heat treat even if that means it's a bit tougher job.

Print those shipping labels using USPS.com and drop those Flat Rate boxes off at the Post Office. No fuss and no waiting in line.
Thanks y'll.
Best climbing hammer out there and the better price too. Amazing.
If I did the numbers, I would have but the numbers on the molds.

Good to hear they're all good to go now!
Props to Theron, Joseph, IHP, Conrad, John, and all others involved in the build!
Now ship em! I may be in the great white frozen north and have a heavy addiction to ice climbing, but seriously.... you ever seen what bolts look like on rap routes that are under water 3 seasons of the year?
Chinooks are also prime time to get started on projects. Oh, and do I have a project for this hammer! Several.

Yeah, hurry up and ship! Time's wasting! So many projects! Grandma and Grandpa ain't gettin' any younger...
(As for my hammer, no rush---the projects aren't going anywhere in the meantime...)

Jeff_m, as your grandpa prolly already knows if you hook the funkness just right it's possible to gut the fish with a single pull. It's a slick trick.

So what you're saying is that grandma broke up wood with the D5 and grandpa smashed a fish over the head with it??????
Yep.
But at least they're using their D5s...
Edit for Roxy:
Grampa started using the D5 at his job doing bone density tests. The fishing applications came naturally. (I'll tell him about using the funkness hole to gut, but he's always been more of a bashin' man...)

Part of the current short delay is we are also waiting for 500 steel handle wedges which we've decided to ship two of along with each hammer just as A5 did. There is just enough variability in the handle head end width vs. depth from the factory that some hammers may need the wedges over time and this way you'll have them if you do.
I can only imagine how many hammers emergency rooms see and where they've been...

I like when things get resolved. I'm settled in to wait my turn. For a hammer, not a hammerin'. It'll be good to replace this relic, though it's done a fine job.
