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

Which face is for which job?
This product's description names its faces and the work each one is for. As a general guide, a flat or gently bowed face planishes and flattens; a domed or ball face sinks, stretches and forms curves; and a cross peen or narrow face moves metal in one direction or sets a line. Strike steel letter or design stamps only with a hammer this product's description says is for stamping: their hard ends can nick a polished face, and the nick then prints into your work.
Will it mark my work?
A steel face prints whatever is on it into soft metal, so keep the faces clean and smooth and strike squarely: a blow that lands on the rim of a face, or one harder than the job needs, leaves dents. Where the surface must stay unmarked, use a soft face such as nylon or wood instead.
What should I support the work on?
Use a surface that suits the job and sits firm: a steel bench block or anvil for flattening, planishing, riveting and stamping; a stake, mandrel or forming block for curves; and a sandbag, rubber block or chasing pitch where the work needs some give, as in chasing and repoussé.
How should I look after it?
Wipe the head clean after use and store the hammer dry, where its faces cannot knock against other tools. A nick or scratch on a face prints into the metal, so smooth it out before using the hammer on finished work. If the head is fitted to a handle, check it is tight before use and never use the hammer with a loose head. On hammers with screw-in faces or tips, tighten the face fully before striking.
