There is no mesh light. This is lit with an HDRI.

Maybe try a different hdri to get different lighting. It almost looks like there is no light source at all currently.

I updated the head of the post to reflect only the most recent render. Please continue to advise. Thanks so far for all the responses.

The handle where it intersects the head looks like it could use some wear and tear as the underside of the head is damaged but the handle is in perfect condition.

There's also something about the floor which is throwing me. I think its because it looks out of focus while the hammer is in perfect focus (though could just be the resolution of the floor texture/bump?)

Only picky crits but otherwise I think it looks pretty good.
