Forming Stake No 7 — 9 Inch Double-Ended Hardened Steel, Synclastic & Anticlastic, Polished

Raising and holloware work call for curves that a flat stake cannot give you. The No. 7 profile on this double-ended stake is cut for defined, repeating curves and flutes in sheet — one end synclastic, the other anticlastic — so a single tool in the vice covers both directions of curvature.

It is hardened steel throughout, polished to a high finish so the surface does not print marks back into precious metal. The central hexagonal block seats securely in a bench vice or stake holder without twisting under hammer work.

• Hardened steel construction with a highly polished surface to prevent marking precious metals.
• Double-ended design offers both synclastic and anticlastic forming profiles in one tool.
• Central hexagonal block ensures a secure, non-slip grip in a bench vice or stake holder.
• Features the specific No. 7 profile for creating defined, repeating curves and flutes in sheet.

Who it's for

Ideal for professional silversmiths, holloware makers, and bench jewellers engaged in raising and forming precious or non-ferrous metals. Also suitable for armourers and custom metalworkers requiring specific curved forms for their work.
