The chasing face is used to strike tools only, not jewelry. Use it for center punches, chasing punches, etc. The surface is not maintained and will show marks and dings, which is fine because this tool is not used on jewelry metals themselves. The riveting face is a small cross peen. It is ideal for upsetting, or spreading the ends of rivets when cold-joining metals.

With a handle length of 250mm (9-7\/8\") and a head length of 101mm (4\"), this hammer brings professional-grade performance to repoussé, chasing preparation, and freeform embossing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to designer Bill Fretz: \u003cem\u003eEmbossing is the stretching of metal by hammering from the inside.\u003c\/em\u003e Blocking is a form of embossing when metal is hammered into a cavity; freeform embossing is done with a sandbag. The small embossing hammer forms small raised areas from the inside in preparation for chasing or general shaping, leaving a very fine dimpled texture that can be varied by the strength of the blow. The HMR-105 is the large-format counterpart to the mini HMR-5 and is best suited for larger-scale work where more mass and reach are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest hammer in the Fretz line — comparable to full-size silversmith hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a mirror finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual round faces: 11.5mm and 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a fine, controllable dimpled texture ideal for embossing and chasing prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a refined finish for superior grip and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional balance for extended studio use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead weight of 6 oz.

Unlike a conventional chasing hammer, the Janus features two identical round chasing faces — one straight and one angled — giving the metalsmith two distinct striking positions in a single tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe angled head changes the approach angle to the work, which in turn shifts the arm and elbow position. This ergonomic variation helps reduce repetitive stress during extended chasing sessions by naturally encouraging the user to alternate between the two heads. The tilted face directs the striking motion more downward, which many chasing artists find beneficial depending on their working posture and technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle design on the Janus differs from other Fretz chasing hammers: it features a round-end grip rather than a pistol grip, allowing it to be spun freely in the hand for quick repositioning. The handle is also slightly longer than standard Fretz handles. It is crafted from Padauk, a species of rosewood prized for its density, warmth, and smooth feel — qualities that make it exceptionally comfortable during long periods of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe head is cast from 420 stainless steel and hardened to 50C on the Rockwell scale. It is important to note that this hammer is designed to strike chasing tools — not to contact metal workpieces directly. As a result, the polished face may show marring during normal use. Bill Fretz notes that properly hardened chasing tools will exhibit mushrooming on their striking end with use, and any marring on the Janus face will not affect its performance or intended function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEye protection is required whenever this hammer is in use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual chasing faces — one straight, one angled — to vary arm position and reduce repetitive stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentical round face profile on both ends for consistent chasing performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound-end handle allows easy spinning and repositioning in the hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger handle than standard Fretz hammer models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead cast from 420 stainless steel, hardened to 50C Rockwell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle crafted from Padauk rosewood for a smooth, comfortable grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned exclusively for striking chasing tools — not for direct metal contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChasing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.1 oz.

The domed face addresses previous raising hammer marks, smoothing them out efficiently. The flat face then refines those marks to a near-smooth finish. Beyond planishing, this hammer excels at sizing rings, forming bezels, and general metal forming against mandrels and stakes. It is the most widely used hammer in the Fretz line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e420 stainless steel head\u003c\/strong\u003e cast and hardened to 50Rc for long-lasting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly polished head surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e on both the flat and domed faces for clean, refined hammer marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-face design\u003c\/strong\u003e — domed face smooths prior raising marks; flat face refines to a near-smooth finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfrican Padauk handle\u003c\/strong\u003e (a type of Rosewood) provides exceptional feel, smooth grip, and perfect balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle weight matched to head weight\u003c\/strong\u003e — heavier heads are paired with appropriately sized handles for optimal balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile application: ring sizing, bezel forming, and general metalsmithing against mandrels and stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle color may range from dark brown to lighter shades depending on sourced Padauk stock — all handles meet the same quality standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHMR-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlanishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat \/ Dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.1 oz.
