For bench jewellers and craftspeople needing a stable forming surface for small-scale work. This UK-stocked mini horn anvil provides flat and curved faces on a wide, freestanding base, ideal for shaping metal whilst saving valuable bench space.

Key features

  • Wide, circular base with a painted blue finish provides stability without bolting.
  • Polished steel anvil head features a flat face, a conical horn, and a square horn.
  • Includes a square hardy hole and a round pritchel hole for securing stakes and tools.
  • Highly polished working surfaces help prevent the marring of soft metals during forming.
  • Compact design offers multiple working surfaces for benches with limited space.

Who it's for

An essential tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and hobbyists working on small-scale metal forming, dapping, and riveting. Its stable, compact form also makes it suitable for model makers and detailed craftwork where a full-size anvil is impractical.

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.
