A silversmith's essential for controlled metal shaping and detailed repoussé work on larger pieces.

What it does

This chasing hammer excels at incrementally moving metal through precise strikes. Its broad, polished 32mm dome face distributes force evenly, allowing for smooth, graduated shaping and texture development in repoussé and chasing. The balanced weight and comfortable grip, thanks to the turned wooden handle, minimise fatigue during extended bench sessions. This tool is engineered for consistent, reliable performance on the jeweller's bench.

How to use it

Prepare your metal blank and form.
Strike patterns and shapes with controlled taps.
Clean and store after use.

Who it's for

Ideal for professional silversmiths, jewellers, and metalsmiths tackling repoussé, chasing, and general metal forming on larger projects. It's a step up from smaller hammers, offering greater efficiency for hollowware or sculptural work, and complements forming blocks and chasing tools.

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.
