This dual-purpose hammer is engineered for silversmiths and jewellers to efficiently planish surfaces and create defined grooves on metal.

What it does

The precisely balanced steel head features two distinct working faces. One is a flat, circular surface ideal for smoothing and hardening metal through planishing. The opposing face is rectangular with a rounded profile, perfectly shaped for sinking clean, consistent channels and forming wire seats. The polished faces ensure a refined finish on non-ferrous metals, minimising post-work polishing. Its 12-inch length offers good reach without sacrificing control.

How to use it

  • Select the appropriate face for your task.
  • Strike metal with controlled, even blows.
  • Clean faces after use; store carefully.

Who it's for

Designed for professional silversmiths, repoussé artists, and jewellers. This tool streamlines workflows by combining planishing and grooving functions, eliminating the need to constantly switch hammers. It's also beneficial for coppersmiths and metalworkers tackling detailed sheet metal fabrication.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

David ★★★★★

I've been using this hammer for my silver repoussé work, and the groove side cuts crisp lines without slipping. The steel head feels solid but not tiring after an hour of planishing.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The dual-ended head is a real time-saver—I switch between planishing and grooving without reaching for another tool, and the balance feels natural in hand. The steel head’s weight does the work for me, so my wrist stays steady even on longer repoussé sessions.

Victoria D. ★★★★★

The 12" length gives me way more control than my old hammer—those dual faces switch from planishing to grooving without me swapping tools mid-piece. Steel head feels solid and the balance is spot on for detailed repousse work.
