For silversmiths and jewellers shaping medium-to-large scale work, this chasing hammer offers excellent surface coverage. The 38mm bowed face is ideal for repoussé and forming, whilst the ball peen handles texturing, making it a versatile bench standard.

Key features

  • A large, 38mm bowed face with a highly polished surface for smooth, mark-free metal forming.
  • Features a small, polished ball peen on the opposite side for riveting and creating decorative textures.
  • The solid steel head is securely mounted to provide a confident, balanced strike.
  • A smooth, turned wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and helps absorb vibration.

Who it's for

A core tool for bench jewellers, silversmiths, and coppersmiths engaged in chasing and repoussé work. It is also favoured by metal artists who require controlled shaping of sheet metal.
