For bench jewellers and metalworkers shaping rings or planishing small components, this double horn anvil provides three distinct work surfaces. It delivers a stable, hardened steel block for detailed forming and stamping, without requiring the space of a full-size bench anvil.
Key features
Features one round, conical horn for shaping curves and rings, and one flat horn for forming sharp bends.
A flat, smooth top face provides a solid surface for planishing, stamping, and riveting work.
Machined from hardened steel to withstand repeated hammer blows during forming and texturing.
Includes a pritchel hole on the main face for punching and riveting tasks.
The wide, solid base ensures stability on the bench whilst working.
Its compact footprint makes it suitable for benches where workspace is at a premium.
Who it's for
A core tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and apprentices who require a versatile forming block. Also favoured by model makers and craftspeople for detailed wirework and shaping of small metal components.

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.
