One reviewer says this actually weighs 22oz not 14oz.. Does anyone know for sure that it's under 1 lb?

I guess it is hit and miss. I believed these answers and got one that is labeled 14oz. but weighs in at 22 ounces. Obviously someone at amazon has mislabeled some of them.

Can I travel with the hammer inside my luggage or are there any us custom's restrictions?

Opinion: There should be no problems traveling with the hammer. If you're worried just carry the receipt to show where you purchased it. Once the hammer has been "used in anger" against a rock it won't make any difference.

Do you feel that an enthusiastic strong 12-year old boy could successfully wield the smaller (14 oz.) version of this pick?

Absolutely. Keep in mind, though, that the pointy end should never be used as a pick--it's more for scraping. Its point is fine enough that using it like a pick can cause metal fragments to chip off that can really mess up an eye.

What is the weight of the entire hammer? The description says head weight is 14 oz.

It's a 14 ounce hammer. They also offer a 22 ounce hammer. We have both.
