For silversmiths and jewellers working on large-scale repoussé and chasing, this large-format hammer helps you move more metal, more efficiently. Its substantial 50mm flat face covers broad surfaces on bowls, trays, and holloware with fewer strikes, making it a workshop staple for bigger pieces.

Key features

  • Dual-face steel head with a large 50mm flat face and a smaller, rounded bow face.
  • The broad, flat face is designed for smoothing and planishing large, open areas of metal.
  • The bow face provides a domed surface ideal for raising and forming curves without marking your work.
  • A shaped hardwood handle provides a balanced, comfortable grip for extended sessions at the bench.
  • All our tools are UK-stocked and ready for immediate dispatch from our workshop.

Who it's for

An essential tool for silversmiths, coppersmiths, and holloware makers undertaking large-scale forming and raising. Also suitable for armourers and metal artists who require efficient coverage and shaping on broad, curved surfaces.

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.
