Fretz Silversmithing Hammer Set of 5

Part # 137.230 In Stock Weight -- lb / -- g
$431.00

The Fretz Silversmithing Hammer Set of 5 covers core silversmithing tasks from raising and blocking to planishing and embossing. Each hammer features a hardened stainless steel head polished to a mirror finish, paired with a long Padauk rosewood handle (250 mm / 9-7/8") for balance, control, and comfort. Head lengths across the five hammers range from approximately 72–103 mm, giving silversmiths the right profile for every stage of forming.

Features

  • Polished stainless steel heads: hardened and mirror finished to move metal cleanly with minimal marking.
  • Padauk rosewood handles: ergonomically shaped at 250 mm for leverage and fatigue-reducing control on larger work.
  • Silversmith-focused profiles: planishing, wide raising, narrow raising, and two embossing hammers for comprehensive, controlled forming.
  • Five-piece coverage: transitions seamlessly from broad shaping through fine detail work without switching tool sets.
