Style 2 Anticlastic Raising Cross Peen Hammer for Jewellery Craft and Repoussée, 10"
Sculpt flowing curves with this anticlastic raising cross peen hammer, expertly crafted for detailed jewellery and repoussée work.
What it does
This hammer's distinctively curved, polished cross peen faces are designed to gently stretch and form non-ferrous sheet metal. The long, arcing head works in harmony with your arm's natural motion, allowing for precise control as you coax metal over forming stakes or into intricate repoussée designs. Its hardened steel head (50 HRC) ensures durability, while the smooth, shaped rosewood handle offers a comfortable, secure grip for sustained bench work.
How to use it
- Select the appropriate face for your metal thickness and desired stretch.
- Strike with controlled, sweeping motions along the curve of your stake.
- Keep striking faces clean to prevent workpiece marking.
Who it's for
An indispensable tool for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths focusing on anticlastic raising. It's also ideal for students and craftspeople engaged in repoussée, chasing, or forming detailed metal components, offering a refined alternative to less specialised hammers.
