Chasing and repoussé ask a hammer to do two things: strike the punch squarely, and never bruise the surrounding sheet. The polished 22 mm flat face delivers full, even contact — uniform pressure across the strike, without the concentrated dents a domed or peen face leaves behind. Turn it over and the ball-peen face takes on riveting and lays down a deliberate peened texture.

The steel head is mounted securely to a smooth wooden handle shaped for balance, so the hammer works through rhythm rather than force and stays comfortable across a long chasing session. A core striker for silver, copper and other non-ferrous sheet, at home in any metalwork kit.

  • Polished 22mm flat face delivers full, even contact for uniform texturing.
  • Opposite ball-peen face is suited for riveting and creating decorative peened textures.
  • Smooth wooden handle is shaped for balance and a comfortable grip during prolonged use.
  • Steel head is securely mounted to the handle for reliable, direct striking power.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and coppersmiths undertaking chasing and repoussé work. Also favoured by metal artists and craftspeople for creating decorative textures on non-ferrous sheet metal.

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.
