Achieve crisp, defined V-grooves and channels for precise fold lines and decorative metalwork with this bench jeweller's grooving hammer.

What it does

This specialised hammer is engineered for creating sharp, right-angle channels in sheet metal. Its precisely ground 90-degree grooving face guides the metal to form clean, consistent V-shaped indentations, ideal for forming precise fold lines or adding decorative detail. The secondary, parallel pein offers versatility for general shaping tasks, making it a dual-purpose tool for many bench operations, crafted from hardened steel for durability.

How to use it

  • Position metal accurately under the grooving face.
  • Strike firmly with a controlled hammer blow.
  • Use the parallel pein for general shaping.

Who it's for

A must-have for professional silversmiths and bench jewellers, this hammer excels in tasks like box making and repoussé. It offers a more controlled alternative to repeated scoring with a chisel, ensuring consistent groove depth and profile for intricate non-ferrous metalwork.

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.
