Key features
- Solid steel construction with two distinct sinusoidal forming ends.
- Highly polished working surfaces to prevent marking precious or non-ferrous metals.
- Substantial central block provides a stable mounting point in a bench vice.
- Shaped to provide correct support when forming anticlastic and sinusoidal curves.
- Smooth, rounded terminals on each end to avoid snagging or marring workpieces.
Who it's for
An essential forming stake for professional silversmiths, bench jewellers, and metal artists in the UK. It is specifically designed for those undertaking anticlastic raising or creating jewellery and sculptures with complex wave-form profiles.

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.
