I have bought an embarrassing number of expensive hammers over the years but no more. I bought the Fujan carbon fiber hammer about a year and a half ago and have stopped my search for the perfect tool. I kept my Jahn extension hammer for the occasional "heavy lifting" and I use it on the top section of grands with a 3" tip, etc., but the Fujan is my workaday buddy. I don't know how it would compare with the Faulk, but it is so light, so stiff, so strong, and so comfortable to use that I do really recommend the Fujan to anyone seriously evaluating hammers.
