I know but i ask about sharpness bar, there two got same green, you said green is better but they're same green they same damage even some have less sharpness point in that bar?

the longer the colour on that bar the longer it will maintain it colour sharpness, but go for the highest raw damage if you're going for hammer

The main thing to be concerned about regarding sharpness is the colour, and to a lesser extent size, of the highest level of sharpness.

If, like in these examples, the highest is green, that's the the only level you should be concerned about. the Yellow, Orange, and especially Red sections of the sharpness bar are not worth fretting over.

Red in the sharpness bar is effectively filler, when you are at Red sharpness every attack that can bounce off a monster, will. You never want to stay in, or ideally ever reach, Red sharpness.

Looking at these two 'Kulu' has better sharpness, but 'Fossil' is probably the better hammer.

My recommendation is to go with defender hammer for early game

Each hit reduse your current sharpness. After some number of hits green sharpness is gone, you lose some damage (down to 100% from 105%) and you current will be yellow. After some more hits yellow is gone and so on.

Orange and red sharpnes is negative: 75% damage at orange and 50% at red. So no, red and orange not mean anything, because you don't want to stay on them and must to use whetstone to restore sharpness.

Also each level of sharpness have value that matter to prevent bouncing from some monsters parts.

1. Is Correct
2. Isn't, necessarily.

More bad-coloured sharpness isn't inherently bad, but it is not a point in the weapon's favour. As I mentioned you should be primarily interested in what the other end of the sharpness bar looks like, since you should be sharpening before you reach the worst colours.

Later on you'll probably understand it a bit more as sharpness bars generally get longer and more colours appear.

ahhhh i knew it i knew it, more point in bar is mean durability right?,
that two hammer have same green color point (durability), but hammer can't lose sharpness because they don't have so they have same green color it mean they two got same damage, they do same damage right?

1 quick thing first, as weird as it sounds, hammers do have to worry about sharpness, and be sharpened, despite being blunt. I dunno, maybe there's a bit of build-up of stuff on the head that's softening the blow, and 'sharpening' cleans it off. Anyway, moving on.

Sharpness modifies the damage of the weapon, it does not determine it by itself, if you're looking for damage the main number to look at is the, well, Raw Damage (Sword icon on that webpage) the higher the better.

At Red you deal 50% of your weapon's damage
At Orange you deal 75% of your weapon's damage
At Yellow, it's 100%
Green: 105%
Blue: 120%
White: 132%
Purple: 139%

Sharpness also effects elemental damage but that is not particularly important for hammer, especially not at this stage.

Dude, every weapon loses sharpness, just ranged weapons that uses ammo (Bow, HBG and LBG) that has no sharpness.

And no matter how many colors they have on the sharpness bar, the only one that's matter is the last one (far most on the right). If a weapon ends the bar with Purple, even though is goes right to the Red, like:
[Red----------][Purple---]

Will be better than any weapon that ends in Blue or White, like:
[Red--][Orange][Yellow--][Green--][Blue][White--]

More colors doesn't mean that's is better. Just the last one matters!

Yes it is durabity. It is also a power multiplier. Different colors means more power, longer color means more durability.
