Shape seamless pod forms, fluted hollowware, and elongated concave contours with the authentic Fretz® HMR-8 Rounded Narrow Raising Hammer. Specially developed for fine silversmiths, custom goldsmiths, and metalcraft artisans, this medium-weight forming hammer features dual rounded narrow rectangular faces measuring 19 mm x 6 mm on a compact 73 mm cast stainless steel head. Unlike traditional round-faced embossing hammers that tend to leave deep, isolated divots on long narrow shapes, the HMR-8’s crowned narrow profile creates smooth, overlapping planishing strokes across narrow channels and oblong geometries without over-stretching or thinning the workpiece.

Key Features & Benefits

• Rounded Narrow Face Geometry: Engineered with convex 19 mm x 6 mm working ends, allowing metalsmiths to follow sweeping contours and emboss long flutes with continuous, uniform metal compression.

• Superior Overlapping Stroke Control: Creates clean, gradual blending on narrow pod and oblong profiles where spherical ball-end hammers leave harsh dents, significantly reducing post-forming sanding and abrasive cleanup.

• Mirror-Polished Working Ends: Cast 420 stainless steel heads are hardened and buffed to a fine mirror luster, ensuring zero surface flaws or tool marks transfer to high-karat gold, fine silver, or polished copper.

• Ergonomically Contoured Hardwood Handle: The 220 mm turned wooden handle provides optimal balance, natural wrist leverage, and consistent rebound to prevent joint fatigue during intensive hammer forming.

• Tight-Clearance Access: The slender 6 mm profile navigates easily inside restricted bracelet curves, narrow spouts, and hollow forms where wider raising hammers would strike and dent outer edges.
