The NC Black 6 Annie Anticlastic/Raising Hammer is purpose-built for metalsmiths who need precise control when raising tiny vessels of all shapes. Featuring faces with slightly less curvature than its shell-forming counterpart, this hammer strikes the ideal balance between the more aggressive curve of the Little Annie Forming Hammer and a flatter profile—making it especially well-suited for anticlastic raising and small-scale vessel work. The two faces offer subtly different curvature profiles, giving the maker versatility within a single tool.
