Forging Hammers

The style of this hammer comes from Europe, it has a large amount of weight in the middle of the hammer, a blocky peen for effective spreading of the metal and a good radius on each edge to cut down on hammer marks. I make blacksmith’s forging hammers and also smaller versions with polished faces for jewelers, shown further down the page.

The carvings are done when the steel is hot and make for unique tools that are a joy to own and use. My own forging hammer and tongs were the prototypes for these tools and are in use every day.

I made a hammer for Lorelei Sims quite a few years ago when she apprenticed with me - I am proud to see it is still in use and pictured on the front cover of her book.
