Two of the most-used hammer faces on one handle. The flat, polished circular face planishes and forms without marring; turn the head and the cross-peen drives metal directionally — drawing it out along a defined line, setting a crease for repoussé, moving silver where you want it and nowhere else. If you're assembling a first kit, our guide to choosing your first jeweller's hammer explains why this pattern earns its place early.

The steel head has a black-finished body with both striking faces polished, and it is securely mounted so the balance stays true through controlled strikes. The straight hardwood handle gives a secure grip and absorbs vibration. Suited to silver and other non-ferrous work, from students learning forming to working benches.

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.
