Silversmiths' Repoussé Hammer — Locksmith Style, Octagonal & Rectangular Faces, Wood Handle

Two faces cover a lot of bench forming: a 16 mm octagonal face for general shaping of soft metals, and a narrow 5 mm x 16 mm rectangular peen that lays down sharp, defined lines for repoussé and chasing. The locksmith pattern puts both on one balanced head.

At 120 g the head favours controlled, delicate strikes over brute force, with an 80 mm head length and a straight, smooth-finished wooden handle bringing the tool to 12" (305 mm) overall — comfortable and secure in the hand for a full session of texturing.

• Features a dual-head design with one octagonal and one rectangular striking face.
• The 16mm octagonal face is suited for general shaping and forming of soft metals.
• A narrow 5mm x 16mm rectangular peen allows for creating sharp lines and detailed repousse work.
• The 120g head weight provides a good balance for controlled, delicate strikes.
• Fitted with a straight, smooth-finished wooden handle for a comfortable and secure grip.
