Chasing Hammer — 25mm German-Style Bow Face & Ball Peen, Wooden Handle, Repoussé Work

Master intricate metal shaping with this 25mm German-style bow face hammer, designed for precise chasing, repoussé, and planishing.

What it does

This tool allows for controlled metal deformation. The broad, slightly convex 25mm face distributes impact evenly, ideal for doming and smoothing without creating unwanted sharp edges during repoussé. The opposite ball peen end provides focused strikes for texturing or planishing smaller, detailed areas. Its balanced weight and smooth hardwood handle are engineered for comfortable, sustained use at the bench, minimising user fatigue.

How to use it

• Position metal securely on a suitable chasing stake or block.
• Use controlled, glancing blows to move and shape the metal.
• Clean the head regularly and store in a dry place.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and coppersmiths tackling detailed chasing, repoussé, and planishing. It's also suitable for watchmakers and craftspeople working with non-ferrous metals. This hammer offers a refined alternative to heavier planishing hammers for delicate surface work.
