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.

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.
