You do realize this would obsolete Lightweight Scale Mail? Not that that's necessarily bad...

Moving to 1-hand would definitely open up to potential situational use...

Do people make rings of the warrior? RE: the axe - how would it then compare vs. the heart finder?

It would be worth it to keep the AI from forging them.
I think that 1H bane blade + shield is pretty much always better than the 2hand version, which leaves its utility down to units you were going to give a magic weapon to that don't already have shields and you don't want to invest another 5 gems into...

All of these seem reasonable, in light of hammer removal. However, consider the impact of forging the hammer of the forge lord or hammer (potentially + forge lord pretender and/or early FoTA from Ulm) to churn out the above items.

At that price, people might be include to do it just to get the corpse candles at the edge of the field.

Note that at 2A it's the same price as the air-based shields.

Axe of Hate -(The fatigue damage is not AoE it seems, has to hit) - and honestly, I see kryss used as SC slayer over axe of hate 100% of the time.
Sword of Swiftness

For the Sword of Swiftness, perhaps adding +1 or more attacks would be a better re-balance vs. a price drop?
