Category: Jewellery Making Tools

Chasing and repoussé run on rhythm, and this German-pattern hammer is shaped for it: the broad 28mm bow face, gently convex and highly polished, moves sheet metal smoothly stroke after stroke, while the ball peen end planishes, textures and sets rivets. One hammer covers most of a chasing session.

The forged steel head is fixed with a traditional wedge into a straight-grained hardwood handle, giving the balance this kind of work wants. Keep the faces polished — every mark on the hammer prints on the metal — and store it away from damp to protect head and handle alike.

  • Features a 28mm highly polished, slightly convex bow face for smooth metal forming.
  • Opposing ball peen is ideal for planishing, texturing, and riveting work.
  • The forged steel head is securely fitted to the handle with a traditional wedge.
  • A smooth, straight-grained hardwood handle provides balance and a comfortable grip.
  • All our tools are UK-stocked for same-day dispatch to your workshop.

Brian ★★★★★

The bow face is polished so smoothly that the metal glides rather than sticks, which makes a huge difference when I'm trying to keep a steady rhythm. The wood handle fits my grip well, and the weight feels just right for long chasing sessions without my hand tiring out.

Leo P. ★★★★★

The balance is spot-on, and that 28mm convex face has really cut down my planishing time on copper cuffs. It's got a nice solid swing to it, no bounce-back, even on a full hour of repoussé.

Miles N. ★★★★★

The polished bow face glides across the metal with surprising smoothness, making each strike feel controlled and rhythmic. I’ve been using it for a few days on copper sheet, and the 28mm head really helps distribute the force evenly without leaving deep marks. The wood handle has a nice heft too, th
