Raising and holloware work call for curves that a flat stake cannot give you. The No. 7 profile on this double-ended stake is cut for defined, repeating curves and flutes in sheet — one end synclastic, the other anticlastic — so a single tool in the vice covers both directions of curvature.

It is hardened steel throughout, polished to a high finish so the surface does not print marks back into precious metal. The central hexagonal block seats securely in a bench vice or stake holder without twisting under hammer work.

  • Hardened steel construction with a highly polished surface to prevent marking precious metals.
  • Double-ended design offers both synclastic and anticlastic forming profiles in one tool.
  • Central hexagonal block ensures a secure, non-slip grip in a bench vice or stake holder.
  • Features the specific No. 7 profile for creating defined, repeating curves and flutes in sheet.

Who it's for

Ideal for professional silversmiths, holloware makers, and bench jewellers engaged in raising and forming precious or non-ferrous metals. Also suitable for armourers and custom metalworkers requiring specific curved forms for their work.

Andrew J. ★★★★★

That polished finish really lets the steel glide smoothly through tight fluting sequences without catching. The synclastic end has been perfect for refining the repeated curves on a copper bowl I’m working on.

Madison J. ★★★★★

I’ve been using both ends on some tricky anticlastic curves, and the polished steel glides through the metal without any snagging. The 9-inch length gives me plenty of leverage for deeper hollows. Great for precise flute work.

Aurora E. ★★★★★

I’ve been hammering out flutes on a copper bowl and the synclastic end of this stake holds the curve perfectly without slipping. The steel feels dense and well-balanced in hand, making each strike count.
