Chasing & Repoussé — Dome Hammer, 38 mm / 1-1/2 Inch Bowed Face, Steel Head, Wooden Handle

For chasing and repoussé at a scale where coverage matters. The 38mm (1-1/2") bowed face is generously sized and highly polished, so each blow moves and smooths sheet over a wide area without printing edges into the metal — well suited to medium and larger forming work. The small ball peen on the reverse handles riveting and decorative texture. Where it sits among bench hammers is covered in our guide to choosing a jeweller's hammer.

The solid steel head is securely mounted for a balanced, confident strike, and the smooth, turned wooden handle absorbs a useful amount of vibration across a long chasing session. Keep the polished face free of nicks — it prints everything it carries into your sheet.
