Achieve crisp, defined V-grooves and channels for precise fold lines and decorative metalwork with this bench jeweller's grooving hammer.

What it does

This specialised hammer is engineered for creating sharp, right-angle channels in sheet metal. Its precisely ground 90-degree grooving face guides the metal to form clean, consistent V-shaped indentations, ideal for forming precise fold lines or adding decorative detail. The secondary, parallel pein offers versatility for general shaping tasks, making it a dual-purpose tool for many bench operations, crafted from hardened steel for durability.

How to use it

  • Position metal accurately under the grooving face.
  • Strike firmly with a controlled hammer blow.
  • Use the parallel pein for general shaping.

Who it's for

A staple for professional silversmiths and bench jewellers, this hammer excels in tasks like box making and repoussé. It offers a more controlled alternative to repeated scoring with a chisel, ensuring consistent groove depth and profile for intricate non-ferrous metalwork.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Lucy Y. ★★★★★

The 90-degree head makes it so much easier to get clean, sharp grooves along my fold lines without the hammer bouncing. I’ve been able to work on finer details in my repoussé that I couldn’t manage before.

Sophia J. ★★★★★

Finally, a hammer that actually makes clean V-grooves without slipping — the 90-degree head bites into the metal perfectly. The wooden handle is comfortable enough for hours of repoussé work without my hand cramping up.

Elizabeth Q. ★★★★★

The 90-degree head makes a huge difference—it nails those crisp V-grooves on the first pass, and the wooden handle absorbs shock way better than my old metal one. Took a bit of practice to get the angle right, but now the fold lines come out clean every time.
