Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Master detailed metal shaping with this 22mm German-style bow face hammer, ideal for repoussé and chasing work on your bench.

What it does

This hammer excels at moving metal with controlled precision. The generous 22mm bow face, featuring a subtle convex curve, allows for smooth, consistent displacement of sheet metal during repoussé. Its reverse ball peen head is equally adept at planishing and texturing smaller areas, lending definition and a uniform finish. The head is forged from hardened steel for durability and securely fitted to the handle for reliable bench performance.

How to use it

  • Prepare your metal and pitch.
  • Strike the chasing tool cleanly.
  • Use the ball peen for planishing.

Who it's for

A fundamental tool for jewellers, silversmiths, and metalsmiths specialising in intricate repoussé and chasing. It's also well-suited for coppersmiths and craftspeople working with non-ferrous sheet metals. This hammer offers a refined alternative to heavier general-purpose hammers for detailed forming.

Sebastian O. ★★★★★

The weight distribution on this 22mm bow face is perfect—my repoussé lines are sharper and more consistent than with my old ball peen. It’s taken a bit to adjust to the German-style handle, but the control during chasing work is night and day.

Andrew ★★★★★

Finally a hammer that doesn't fight me on the bench — the bow face lets me guide the metal instead of just pounding it. The 22mm head feels solid and the wood handle sits nicely in my palm after a few minutes of work.

Madison V. ★★★★★

The 22mm face is perfectly balanced for repoussé work—I can feel the weight shift exactly where I need it, and the bow face lets me move metal without the hammer bouncing back. It’s become my go-to for shaping fine details.
