For silversmiths and jewellers performing chasing and repoussé work, this hammer offers controlled metal forming. The polished 22mm dome face moves sheet metal smoothly, creating graduated curves without leaving the sharp impressions of a standard flat-faced hammer. A core tool for any metal-forming workshop.

Key features

  • Features a polished 22mm dome face for creating soft, graduated textures in sheet metal.
  • The reverse ball peen is ideal for planishing, texturing, and riveting work.
  • Solid steel head provides the necessary weight for forming non-ferrous metals.
  • A smooth, shaped wooden handle offers balance and a comfortable grip during prolonged use.

Who it's for

This is a workshop staple for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and coppersmiths engaged in repoussé, chasing, and forming. It is also well-suited for craftspeople doing detailed wire work and sculptural metal art.

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.
