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

Which face is for which job?
This product's description names its faces and the work each one is for. As a general guide, a flat or gently bowed face planishes and flattens; a domed or ball face sinks, stretches and forms curves; and a cross peen or narrow face moves metal in one direction or sets a line. Strike steel letter or design stamps only with a hammer this product's description says is for stamping: their hard ends can nick a polished face, and the nick then prints into your work.
Will it mark my work?
A steel face prints whatever is on it into soft metal, so keep the faces clean and smooth and strike squarely: a blow that lands on the rim of a face, or one harder than the job needs, leaves dents. Where the surface must stay unmarked, use a soft face such as nylon or wood instead.
What should I support the work on?
Use a surface that suits the job and sits firm: a steel bench block or anvil for flattening, planishing, riveting and stamping; a stake, mandrel or forming block for curves; and a sandbag, rubber block or chasing pitch where the work needs some give, as in chasing and repoussé.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the head clean after use and store the hammer dry, where its faces cannot knock against other tools. A nick or scratch on a face prints into the metal, so smooth it out before using the hammer on finished work. If the head is fitted to a handle, check it is tight before use and never use the hammer with a loose head. On hammers with screw-in faces or tips, tighten the face fully before striking.
