The Nechamkin Small Pattern 10-Piece Chasing Tool Set is handcrafted in the USA at Nechamkin Silver Studios using 100% American materials and labor. Inspired by 18th-century French and German chasing tools, each piece is meticulously shaped, hardened, and polished for unmatched precision in fine detail work.
Designed for jewelry-scale chasing, engraving, and small decorative patterns, these tools allow exceptional access to tight areas and intricate forms. Their 9/64" (3.6 mm) square shanks and long, tapered profiles make it easy to maneuver the working faces into the smallest recesses with perfect control.
“When I first saw Liza’s work, I was amazed at the detail and knew we were a good match. I chase exclusively in miniature and she created a set of small tools for me that never get a chance to cool off. With a great finish, shapes and variety, there are no tools like these available anywhere else. They are indispensable for the chasing of my custom silver flute keys and jewelry!”
