Stamping, riveting and flattening all need dead, solid resistance under the work — a wooden benchtop soaks up the blow and blurs the impression. This hardened steel block puts a proper anvil surface in a 2″ square footprint, small enough for a cramped bench or a travelling kit, and pairs naturally with the forming work in our dapping and doming guide.

The top is ground flat and smooth for reliable stamping, and at 3/4″ thick the block sits stable under repeated hammer blows. Every face is ground flat, so you can turn it and work on any side as one surface picks up wear.

  • Solid hardened steel construction withstands repeated hammer blows.
  • Compact 5.08cm square footprint saves valuable bench space.
  • Flat, smooth ground top surface provides a reliable base for stamping.
  • Substantial 1.91cm thickness offers stability during use.
  • All faces are ground flat, allowing the block to be used on any side.

Who it's for

An essential tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalworkers with limited workshop space. Also suitable for craftspeople and model makers who require a small, durable surface for riveting, forming, or stamping tasks.

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.
