The Stone Hammer is a crude one-handed hammer made by binding a Stone to a Tree Branch. It trains the Short Blunt skill. It is first a building tool and only second a weapon.
As a weapon it is poor. It is weaker than the Tree Branch it is made from, with the same condition and weight but less damage and reach. As a tool it stands in for a regular Hammer in most carpentry and in early smithing. The Stone Hammer is crafted from a Tree Branch and a Stone. It is also displayed in anthropology classrooms. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for short blunt. It starts with the most Short Blunt skill. The Blacksmith and the Carpenter also start with some Short Blunt skill.
Combat
The Stone Hammer swings at base speed and reaches about 1.05 tiles. Each hit deals low damage, so an ordinary zombie takes many blows. The crit chance starts at 15 percent, and a crit triples the damage.
The hammer is one-handed, so the other hand stays free. Compared with a regular Hammer, it is heavier, hits softer, reaches slightly less far and wears out much sooner. It is best kept in the bag as a tool and used to fight only when nothing better is at hand. A Tree Branch, a Stone Mace or any found club does the fighting job better.
Uses
The Stone Hammer works as a hammer for carpentry. With planks and nails, it builds walls, floors, doors, fences, stairs, crates, furniture and rain collectors. It also barricades doors and windows. Unlike a regular hammer, it loses condition during construction. At a forge it serves as the hammer for forging bars, chunks, bands, simple blades and small knives. It assembles and dismantles tools and weapons that need a hammer. As a hammerstone it also knaps stone tools and smashes bones and skulls. It can be used to kill animals.

Repair
The Stone Hammer has 5 condition and loses a point on about 1 hit in 5. The Short Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. It can be repaired with glue or tape. Since a new one takes only a branch, a stone and some binding, making a fresh hammer is often simpler than repairing the old one.
Locations
The Stone Hammer appears as loot in one place only. It sits in the display cases of anthropology classrooms, where about a third of the cases hold one.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.

- It loses condition while building, so a regular Hammer should replace it as soon as one is found.
- Dismantling the Stone Hammer with another hammer returns its Stone.
- Researching it can teach the recipes for the Stone Hammer, the Stone Maul Head and the Smithing Hammer Head.
