For moving metal without leaving evidence: the solid Teflon head shapes silver, gold or copper sheet while polished surfaces stay polished. And because the construction is dead blow, the head does not bounce — the full energy of each strike passes into the metal, so forming progresses in fewer, more predictable blows than a lively mallet allows.

The cylindrical head is a substantial 44 × 98mm, giving a broad contact patch that spreads force and avoids local dents, and the turned hardwood handle has the natural, familiar feel of a traditional forming tool. Keep the head clean and away from sharp burrs and it will keep leaving no trace.

  • Solid Teflon head prevents any marking or damage to polished metal surfaces.
  • Dead blow construction eliminates rebound for maximum energy transfer per strike.
  • Large 44 x 98 mm cylindrical head provides a broad contact area for forming.
  • Turned hardwood handle offers a comfortable, natural grip for prolonged bench work.

Who it's for

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.
