A micro-scale forming hammer for chasing and repoussé where a standard chasing hammer would swamp the work. The narrow, polished cross-pein raises fine linear detail; the small, flat round face sets and smooths it. On small-scale jewellery this is the difference between a crisp impression and a flattened one.

The black-finished steel head carries highly polished working faces for clean contact with the metal, plus a brass-coloured side inlay, and it is securely mounted to a long, lightweight wooden handle. That handle is the control mechanism: held towards the end, it delivers light, repeatable strikes with very little effort. Keep the faces polished — any mark on them prints straight into your work.

  • Features a polished, narrow cross-pein on one end and a small, flat round face on the other.
  • Black-finished steel head with highly polished working faces for clean contact with metal.
  • Long, lightweight wooden handle provides excellent balance and control for delicate strikes.
  • Designed specifically for micro-embossing and fine-detail chasing on small-scale jewellery.
  • Head is securely mounted and features a brass-coloured side inlay.

Who it's for

Ideal for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths who specialise in detailed surface decoration. Also suitable for craftspeople working on small-scale repoussé and chasing projects who require a finer tool than a standard chasing hammer.

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.
