I'm told a 13 ounce chisel hammer strikes the balance between power and control. It turns out that the majority of these recommendations come from old people - people with rickety joints, weak bones, and dated ideals. If you're a strapping young lad or las, give 450g a try.
Also, if you buy this particular hammer from toolsforworkingwood, beware: in the catalog photograph they subtly disguise the fact that the 16 oz model is not the same shape as the other three. I was disappointed at first, and I still am.
