Drop Forged Bick Iron T stake 12" x 1-1/2"

An essential forming tool for jewelers and metalsmiths, this drop forged bick iron T stake measures 12" long by 1-1/2" wide at its thickest point. Classically shaped, it features a flat elongated triangle on one side and a tapered rounded end on the other — making it ideal for a wide range of forming, shaping, and planishing tasks.

Drop forged construction produces stakes that are solid through and through, with an extremely dense structure and a smooth, finely hand-polished surface. This method is far superior to cast iron staking, which can harbor hidden surface porosity beneath the finish — porosity that only reveals itself during use and compromises the working surface. With drop forged stakes, what you see is what you get: consistent quality from surface to core.

Features

• Extremely dense material for superior durability and long working life
• Smooth, high hand-polished working surface ready for immediate use
• Classic bick iron T stake profile: flat elongated triangle on one side, tapered rounded end on the other
• Made in the USA

Notes

Drop forged stakes are significantly superior to cast iron alternatives. Cast iron stakes may contain subsurface porosity that is not visible until the stake is put into use, potentially marring workpieces or degrading over time. Drop forged stakes are dense and uniform throughout, ensuring a consistent, reliable working surface for professional metalsmithing applications.
