Master anticlastic raising with this specialist cross peen hammer, designed for precise shaping of domed and curved metal forms.

What it does

This hammer’s elongated, curved cross-peen head is engineered to smoothly follow the complex contours of anticlastic forms, encouraging controlled metal flow without overstretching. Its polished faces prevent unwanted marks on your workpiece, ensuring a clean finish. The securely mounted head and shaped hardwood handle offer a balanced feel for sustained, accurate hammering during intricate raising work.

How to use it

  • Prepare your metal sheet and planishing stakes.
  • Strike gently, moving the hammer across the curve.
  • Polish faces regularly to maintain a smooth finish.

Who it's for

An essential tool for experienced silversmiths and jewellery makers specialising in holloware or sculptural pieces using anticlastic raising techniques. It’s also suitable for advanced students looking to refine their metal-forming skills, offering a more controlled alternative to standard raising hammers.

Emma ★★★★★

The weight and balance of this 10-inch hammer let me control the curve on a thick copper bracelet much more precisely than with my old ball-peen. It took some practice to get the swing right, but the elongated head really digs in and moves metal exactly where I want it.

Hazel ★★★★★

The curved cross-peen head is a game-changer for anticlastic work—it reaches into the curve without skidding, and the 10" length gives just the right leverage for controlled strikes. My domed pieces are finally coming out symmetrical without extra planishing.

Claire X. ★★★★★

The curved cross-peen head catches the metal at just the right angle for doming, and the 10" length gives me solid control without tiring my wrist. I've already shaped three bracelet cuffs with it and the balance feels perfect.
