In the end you have such an indefinable strike point as to witness the formation of multiple strikepoints as the hammer wears. The phenomenom actaully becomes affectual quite early on in the wear and tear cycle and creates a very different affect then needled hammers that have shoulders that are softer then the strikeing point. Just on of several reasons why I personally in the end opt for the not lacquer approach.
