A chasing hammer for moving sheet metal in soft, graduated stages. The polished 22mm dome face pushes non-ferrous sheet into gentle curves without stamping hard edges into the work — exactly what chasing and repoussé ask for — while the ball peen on the reverse covers planishing, texturing and rivet work.

The solid steel head carries enough weight to form metal without forcing the blow, and the smooth, shaped wooden handle balances it for long sessions at the bench. If you are still assembling your kit, our guide to choosing your first jeweller's hammer explains where a dome-faced chaser fits in.

  • 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.
