NC Black 4 Bad Betty Spiculum Hammer

Named after Betty Helen Longhi, the Bad Betty Spiculum Hammer is purpose-built for large spiculum-making work. The elongated, curved hammer head geometry lets you approach metal at the ideal angle for forming spiculums across a wide range of shapes and sizes. With two distinct face profiles — one taller and one shallower — this hammer delivers precise control through every stage of the forming process.
