This allows you make long arcing blows.  Secondly, two faces deliver different results.  The narrow face is for working on thin, concave curves.  The larger face is heavier and thicker, perfect for heavier materials.  The faces are straight with curved edges. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Head length: 148mm (5-7\/8\"\")\u003cbr\u003e Face diameters: 28 x 9mm and 18 x 3mm\u003cbr\u003e Overall hammer length: 250mm (9-7\/8\"\") \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fretz Silversmith€â€žÂ¢s Hammers are unlike any hammers you have ever seen or held before.
