Achieve precise, perpendicular strikes on metal or leather with this solid hardwood stamp holder, designed for consistent marking.
What it does
This block securely grips your metal stamp, guiding your hammer for a perfectly vertical impact. Its precisely machined dual-profile slot accepts both round and square shank stamps, ensuring a snug fit. The dense hardwood construction effectively absorbs hammer shock, minimising vibration for cleaner impressions and a more comfortable user experience. This stability is key to achieving crisp, repeatable marks on your workpieces, every time.
How to use it
- Insert your stamp firmly into the appropriate slot.
- Position the block over your workpiece.
- Strike the stamp squarely with a hammer.
Who it's for
An essential bench companion for UK jewellers, silversmiths, and bladesmiths needing consistent maker's marks. It's also invaluable for leatherworkers and hobbyists seeking reliable, repeatable stamping on their projects, replacing the need for freehand striking.

Common questions at the bench
What metal does this punch work on?
Our steel letter, number, and design punches are heat-treated to strike non-ferrous metals: silver (sterling, fine), copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, gold. Striking hardened steel will damage the face. For pewter and very soft alloys, use light strikes.
What size impression do I need?
1–2 mm for ring shanks and small pieces (initials, hallmark-style); 3–4 mm for pendant backs and signed plaques; 5 mm+ for presentation pieces and stamped jewellery components. Bigger is not always better — a clean small mark reads better than a struggle with an oversized one.
What do I strike it with?
A 1–2 lb brass mallet on a polished steel bench block. Do not use a steel hammer — it will deform the punch over time. One firm strike beats two soft ones for a clean impression.
How do I keep the punch sharp?
Polished punches stay sharp for thousands of strikes if you are hitting cleanly on a flat block. If the face starts blurring impressions, polish lightly with 600-grit emery, then a buffing mop on a polishing motor. Replace before the face deforms further.
