Is there a more specific name for this? Is it available anywhere as a new item? In search results I see similar heads but with the wedge rotated 90 degrees. It's my favorite sledge. I will buy a new handle soon, since this is apparently an irreplaceable tool. There was a logo, but now it's just vague lines in rust.

Look under blacksmithing tools. Straight pein sledgehammer. The wedge is used to spread the metal.

Looks like it’s also used for stone, lol.


 
Blacksmiths use them and have ones with the wedge going horizontal as well
