An embossing hammer with the mass for larger-scale repoussé — 16oz of steel that moves a broad area of silver in a few blows rather than nibbling at it. The polished round dome face raises smooth, uniform texture in repoussé work; the flat, cylindrical face handles general forming, planishing and riveting on the same piece. Holloware makers and coppersmiths work non-ferrous sheet with it for the same reasons.

The straight wooden handle runs 11¾ inches, giving reach, balance and a comfortable grip that keep a heavy head under control. Let the weight do the moving — with a hammer of this mass, deliberate strokes beat hard swings, and your wrist knows it by the end of a session.

  • The polished round dome face is designed for creating smooth, uniform textures in repoussé work.
  • A flat, cylindrical face provides a solid surface for general forming, planishing, and riveting tasks.
  • The 16oz steel head offers substantial weight for moving larger areas of silver and other soft metals.
  • A straight, 11¾-inch wooden handle provides excellent balance, reach, and a comfortable grip during use.

Who it's for

A staple tool for UK silversmiths, holloware makers, and jewellers who work on larger pieces. Also suitable for coppersmiths and artisans requiring a heavier, dual-purpose hammer for forming and texturing non-ferrous sheet metal.

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.
