Goldsmith Hammer in Wood Handle

Forge, flatten, rivet, and shape precious metals with balanced bench leverage. The Traditional Goldsmith Black Steel Hammer combines a heat-treated blackened carbon steel head with a natural shock-absorbing straight hardwood handle. Designed as a classic bench staple for goldsmiths, silversmiths, and metal crafters, it features a dual-purpose head geometry: a flat square face for truing ring shanks, setting rivets, and leveling sheet metal, paired with an angled beveled chisel peen for drawing out wire, opening seam joints, and creating clean linear textures. Available across five calibrated head sizes—ranging from a delicate 1.25 cm micro-peen up to a heavy-duty 2.5 cm forging face—this tool covers fine filigree adjustment to heavy ingot compression.

Why Choose the Traditional Goldsmith Black Steel Hammer

• Dual-End Working Geometries:

  • Flat Square Striking Face: Delivers solid, flat impacts for truing wire bands, flattening sheet metal, work-hardening malleable alloys, and driving setting punches.

  • Angled Beveled Chisel Peen: Concentrates kinetic energy along a tapered wedge line, allowing jewelers to draw out wire lengthways, spread metal directionally, and navigate tight corners.

• Heat-Treated Blackened Steel Head: Precision-formed high-carbon steel head with a rust-resistant black oxide coating resists denting, chipping, and deformation across daily bench forging.

• 5 Calibrated Head Sizes (1.25 cm to 2.5 cm):

  • 1.25 cm / 0.49" (Extra Small / MHFB0001): Ultra-light micro-hammering for delicate chain links, bezel walls, and prong adjustments.

  • 1.5 cm / 0.59" (Small / MHFB0002): Precision forging and riveting for rings and fine earrings.

  • 1.9 cm / 0.75" (Medium / MHFB00025): General bench work, ring shank truing, and light raising courses.

  • 2.1 cm / 0.83" (Large / MHFB0003): Heavier flattening, cuff forming, and wire drawing.

  • 2.5 cm / 0.98" (Extra Large / MHFB0004): Maximum mass and impact force for ingot compression, thick plate bending, and heavy metalwork.

• Natural Shock-Absorbing Wood Handle: Straight-grained natural hardwood handle dampens mechanical vibration, reducing wrist strain and protecting joints during repetitive striking tasks.

• Balanced Head-to-Handle Ratio (Approx. 100–300g): Light overall tool weight paired with an extended handle gives you precise fingertip cadence control and high swing leverage.
