Repoussé & Forming Hammer — Domed Face + Cross-Peen, Goldsmith & Silversmith Bench Tool

Chasing and repoussé ask for two different blows: a broad, forming strike and a directional one. This hammer carries both — a polished domed face for raising and general forming of non-ferrous metals, and a cross-peen that moves metal along a single axis for linear stretching and texture. If you are still assembling your kit, our guide to choosing a jeweller's hammer explains where each face earns its keep.

The solid steel head wears a black finish on the cheeks, and the straight hardwood handle is smooth-finished for a sure grip. One balanced tool, two jobs, no swapping mid-passage.

• Polished domed face for smooth forming and raising of non-ferrous metals.
• Cross-peen face for linear stretching, texturing, and detailed repoussé work.
• Solid steel head with a black finish on the cheeks for durability.
• Fitted with a straight, smooth-finished hardwood handle for a secure grip and control.
• Combines two essential hammer profiles, reducing the need to switch tools mid-task.
