Hammer Basics

Fretz Mid-Size Hammers scaled-down versions of traditional silversmithing hammers, available in many of the same styles. Average head length is 75 mm. The classic shapes are great for planishing, embossing, raising, and more. They feature 420 stainless steel heads hardened to 50Rc and polished to a mirror-bright finish. The 220 mm (8.66”) long rosewood handles are shaped to provide perfect balance and control.
