Master detailed metal shaping with this 22mm German-style bow face hammer, ideal for repoussé and chasing work on your bench.
What it does
This hammer excels at moving metal with controlled precision. The generous 22mm bow face, featuring a subtle convex curve, allows for smooth, consistent displacement of sheet metal during repoussé. Its reverse ball peen head is equally adept at planishing and texturing smaller areas, lending definition and a uniform finish. The head is forged from hardened steel for durability and securely fitted to the handle for reliable bench performance.
How to use it
- Prepare your metal and pitch.
- Strike the chasing tool cleanly.
- Use the ball peen for planishing.
Who it's for
A fundamental tool for jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths specialising in intricate repoussé and chasing. It's also well-suited for coppersmiths and craftspeople working with non-ferrous sheet metals. This hammer offers a refined alternative to heavier general-purpose hammers for detailed forming.

Common questions at the bench
What weight hammer should I start with?
For most bench work, 4–8 oz is the sweet spot. Lighter hammers (2–4 oz) suit fine detail and chasing punches; 6–8 oz suits forging and texture work. Avoid anything over 12 oz unless you specifically need a raising hammer.
Can I use this on annealed silver and copper?
Yes — these hammers are designed for non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine, britannia), copper, brass, bronze, and aluminium. The polished face will not transfer marks to clean annealed stock when used correctly. For mild steel work, use a separate hammer.
How should I care for it?
Wipe the face down after each session to prevent any tarnish from work residue marking your next piece. If the head develops nicks, polish them out with fine-grit emery and a buffing mop — a marked hammer face transfers marks to your work.
What is in the box?
One hammer with the head and handle fitted, ready for the bench. Polished faces are protected with a thin oil film — wipe before first use.
