Comparable in scale to full-size silversmith hammers from Peddinghaus, it features a dual-face hardened stainless steel head polished to a mirror finish and a rosewood handle with an exceptional finish that offers outstanding comfort and balance in hand. With a handle length of 250mm (9-7\/8\") and a head length of 101mm (4\"), this hammer brings professional-grade performance to repoussé, chasing preparation, and freeform embossing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to designer Bill Fretz: \u003cem\u003eEmbossing is the stretching of metal by hammering from the inside.\u003c\/em\u003e Blocking is a form of embossing when metal is hammered into a cavity; freeform embossing is done with a sandbag. The small embossing hammer forms small raised areas from the inside in preparation for chasing or general shaping, leaving a very fine dimpled texture that can be varied by the strength of the blow. The HMR-105 is the large-format counterpart to the mini HMR-5 and is best suited for larger-scale work where more mass and reach are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest hammer in the Fretz line — comparable to full-size silversmith hammers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardened stainless steel head polished to a mirror finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual round faces: 11.5mm and 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a fine, controllable dimpled texture ideal for embossing and chasing prep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood handle with a refined finish for superior grip and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional balance for extended studio use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead weight of 6 oz.
