Achieve precise linear textures and intricate repoussé detail with this narrow-head texturing hammer, designed for controlled metal forming.
What it does
This tool delivers concentrated strikes to create defined lines and subtle domed forms on metal. The narrow, polished steel face allows for accurate mark-making in tight areas, ideal for detailed surface embellishment without disturbing surrounding metal. Its carefully balanced construction and smooth, contoured wood handle ensure comfortable, repeatable control during extended silversmithing sessions.
How to use it
- Position your metalwork on a suitable forming block.
- Strike the metal precisely with the narrow face.
- Store carefully to maintain the polished head finish.
Who it's for
An essential tool for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths focusing on decorative surface techniques like repoussé and chasing. It's also suited for metalsmiths and ambitious hobbyists seeking to add fine detail and texture, offering a more controlled alternative to broader hammers for intricate designs.

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.
