This 32mm German-style chasing hammer with a 32mm bow face is engineered for efficient metal shaping and texturing.

What it does

The broad, slightly convex 32mm bow face delivers even strikes for smooth planishing and rapid texturing across larger metal surfaces. Its corresponding ball peen is ideal for forming domed shapes and applying decorative peened finishes. The polished steel head is securely fitted to a turned hardwood handle, offering a comfortable, balanced grip for controlled metalwork.

How to use it

  • Prepare your metal on a suitable chasing bench pin or forming block.
  • Use smooth, consistent hammer blows to shape or texture the metal.
  • Wipe clean after use and store in a dry place.

Who it's for

This tool is essential for professional UK silversmiths, jewellers, and coppersmiths undertaking repoussé and chasing on medium to large pieces. It significantly speeds up planishing compared to smaller hammers, making it ideal for crafting bowls, large pendants, or decorative panels.

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.
