Apply crisp, light-catching linear patterns and form severe concave contours with the authentic Fretz® HMR-12 Sharp Texturing / Raising Hammer. Engineered specifically for fine bench jewelers, custom goldsmiths, and metalcraft artisans, this medium-weight specialty hammer features dual ultra-slender cross-chisel faces measuring 19 mm x 1 mm and 19 mm x 1.5 mm mounted on a compact 72 mm cast stainless steel head. The knife-edge yet smoothly radiused profiles deliver defined parallel texturing across wedding bands, ring shanks, and sheet surfaces, while doubling as an aggressive raising tool capable of executing extremely tight curves on small jewelry components.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual Ultra-Thin Chisel Faces (1 mm & 1.5 mm): Delivers sharp, consistent linear indentations without cutting through sheet stock, allowing jewelers to vary pattern density by alternating between the two fine widths.
-
Defined Parallel Line Texturing: Crafts modern fluted, striated, and cross-hatched hammer finishes on rings, cuff bracelets, and bezel plates that catch and scatter light cleanly.
-
Extreme Tight-Radius Raising: Slender chisel cross-sections fit into tight clearances, allowing artisans to sink and raise sharp concave valleys and severe inward folds where rounded or wide raising hammers cannot enter.
-
Mirror-Polished Hardened Faces: Cast 420 stainless steel heads are hardened and buffed to a fine mirror luster, ensuring crisp texture transfers without leaving rough burrs or gouging the metal matrix.
-
Ergonomically Contoured Hardwood Handle: The $220\text{mm}$ turned wooden handle provides natural balance, comfortable finger indexing, and controlled swing recoil to prevent wrist strain during intricate texturing runs.
