Set of 2 blacksmith hammers: cross peen hammer and straight peen hammer 

  • Expert Craftsmanship: Each hammer is meticulously hand-forged using the free forging technique by a skilled blacksmith with over 15 years of experience. The hammer features a heavy head and a flat back, offering versatility in metalworking tasks. Its universal shape allows for work on both the face and the back, accelerating metal shaping. The work surfaces are heat-treated to achieve a hardness of HRC 50-55, ensuring durability and longevity.
  • Customization Options: Personalize your hammer with engraving on the handle. Choose from a variety of options including names, dates, short messages, runic names, or runes to add a unique touch to your tool.
  • Materials and Dimensions: The set includes traditional-style Straight Cross Peen and Cross Peen hammers, hand-forged from W108 steel. Head weights range from 2lb to 3.5lb. The handles are available in cured and oil-soaked or boiled linseed oil-soaked natural finishes.

Handle material: ashwood
Overall length: 11.81-15.74" (300-400mm)

Hardening:
We preheat the hammer to about 1200°F (649°C).
Then we increase the temperature to 1450°F to 1500°F (788°C to 816°C).
Quench the hammer in the water.
Tempering:
To reduce the brittleness and increase toughness, tempering is essential.
We clean the surface of the hammer to expose bare metal. This helps in monitoring the tempering colours.
We heat the hammer in an oven. Aim for a temperature between 400°F to 500°F (trying to get 225°C) for a good balance of hardness and toughness.
W hold the temperature for at least an hour per inch of thickness.
Then we allow the hammer to cool to room temperature.
Testing and Verification:
After tempering, we test the hammer's hardness using a Rockwell hardness tester.
Also, we have a simple rebound test. we strike the hammer against an anvil; it should rebound without chipping or deforming.

We offer a lifetime warranty on all our blacksmithing tools.
