{"product_id":"nc-black-annie-anticlastic-raising-hammer-7oz","title":"NC Black 6 Annie Anticlastic\/Raising Hammer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNC Black Company has been crafting metalsmith hammers in the USA since the early 1990s. Every tool is hand fabricated one at a time by expert craftsmen and is 100% guaranteed by the factory in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Using high-grade tool steel and traditional cutting and shaping methods, NC Black produces exceptional tools built for professional use. Each hammer features a handmade wooden handle, expertly finished for comfort and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly curved faces—less curvature than the Little Annie Forming Hammer, ideal for raising small vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo distinct face profiles for versatile anticlastic and raising work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from high-grade tool steel using traditional hand-forming methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade wooden handle finished for comfort and extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand fabricated one at a time by expert craftsmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% guaranteed by NC Black Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 oz (200 g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/8\" wide × 1\/4\" high (16 mm wide × 6 mm high)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFace 2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/8\" wide × 1\/8\" high (16 mm wide × 3 mm high)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/8\" wide × 1\/2\" high × 5-1\/2\" long (16 mm × 12.5 mm × 140 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-grade tool steel with wooden handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in the USA (Mount Airy, North Carolina)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"NC Black Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47735074062550,"sku":"137.926","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/137.926_thumb_56c8de3e-cf94-49d0-8e89-631a11a7212f.jpg?v=1768607434","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/nc-black-annie-anticlastic-raising-hammer-7oz","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
