The texture is created by hand using diamond tools, and only one face receives this treatment — producing a finish similar to rolled texture on flat metal, yet equally effective on dimensional and formed shapes. This is a true jeweler's hammer in the Fretz tradition: beautifully balanced, expertly finished, and built to perform at the bench for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hammer head is cast from 420 stainless steel and hardened to 50Rc, then highly polished for consistent, controlled strikes. The handle is turned from African Padauk (a type of rosewood), offering a smooth, sensory grip that feels exceptionally well-balanced in hand. Handle color may range from dark brown to lighter tones, as Fretz occasionally sources recycled Asian Padauk — variation in shade does not affect performance or quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Fretz hammer family, the Jeweler's Hammer series sits between the smaller Precisionsmith hammers and the larger Silversmithing hammers, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of metalsmithing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\"Raw Silk\" texture applied by hand using diamond tools — one textured face, one plain face\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlanishing head profile delivers controlled surface texture on flat and dimensional metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHammer head cast in 420 stainless steel, hardened to 50Rc\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHighly polished head surface for clean, repeatable results\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle crafted from African Padauk (rosewood family) — smooth finish, excellent balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHandle weight proportioned to head weight for natural balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the Fretz Jeweler's Hammer series — sized between Precisionsmith and Silversmithing lines\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-14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTexturing (Raw Silk)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Shape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat \/ Textured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72mm (2-7\/8\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.6 oz.
