This steel punch stamps a crisp 5.0 mm five-pointed star design onto metal and leather, suited to maker's marks.

What it does

Strike this tool with a hammer to impress a sharp, 5.0 mm five-pointed star into your chosen material. The punch features a precisely milled striking face, ensuring a clean impression every time. Forged from 60 HRC hardened steel, it maintains its definition through repeated use on softer metals and leather without deforming. The comfortable, round shank provides control for accurate placement on your workpiece.

How to use it

  • Position punch firmly on your material.
  • Strike squarely with a suitable hammer.
  • Clean punch after use for longevity.

Who it's for

This punch is essential for jewellers, silversmiths, and leatherworkers needing to add a distinct maker's mark or decorative element. Ideal for hobbyists and professionals alike, it replaces hand-engraving for simpler designs or complements intricate work, streamlining the finishing process on blanks and smaller components.

Common questions at the bench

How do I get a clean mark?
Support the piece on a solid steel surface, such as a bench block, or on a steel ring mandrel for a ring. Hold the stamp upright with its face flat on the work and strike once, firmly and squarely. One firm blow gives a cleaner mark than several light ones, and a second blow can double the mark if the stamp has moved.
What can I mark with it?
Check this product's description for what it is made to mark, and use it only on material softer than the stamp. Do not strike hardened steel or other hard material: it can chip or flatten the face of the stamp.
Is a mark struck with this an official mark?
No. Official UK hallmarks are applied only by an assay office. A mark you strike yourself, such as a maker's mark or a metal content mark, marks your own work and does not replace one.
How should I look after it?
Wipe it clean and dry after use and store it so the face does not knock against other tools. A chipped or flattened face shows in every mark it makes.
