I like the darker colored one. I ordered this with a smooth face. My other hammer is an estwing, the only hammer anyone will ever need, with the best balance and weight distribution. But I really liked the feel and swing of the Milwaukee hickory. It has an extremely large head for a claw hammer.
I've been using this hammer for 4 months now, I'd highly recommend scraping off the poly varnish and then used boiled linseed oil to seal it. Makes the wood beautiful, gets rid of the slippery-ness, and it won't tear up your hands during use. I have no issues using this hammer all day, every day.
I've been swinging this since December and I have 0 complaints, it's lasted through a tough Canadian winter with very minimal wear. Just be careful while swinging it with gloves on as it tends to get a bit slippery.
It's not only really awesome that you got a handle with brown heartwood hickory. The handle is entirely heartwood. And you ordered that hammer and didn't search for it in the stores to find that kind of handle. Damn right it was a good day!
