Fretz Revere R-GF Goldsmithing/Crosspein Hammer

Description

The new Revere Goldsmithing Hammer is a collection of well sorted details, starting off with the hammer head, which seems smaller than others, yet is surprisingly hefty and well balanced in the hand. The goldsmithing end is domed for precise use, while the cross peen end is larger than the riveting end found on the Revere Chasing hammer and can be used for raising or texturing. The handle shape chosen is round, and not a pistol shape, as the round shape is sturdier compared to the pistol grip.
One big difference in the Revere Goldsmithing Hammer vs. other hammers in general is the texture used for the handles. Mr. Revere prefers many of his tools to have textured handles for more sensitivity in the hands. A good example is the Revere Pliers, which have a distinctive texturing. A great deal of time was spent in getting this texture just right to Alan’s specifications. Unlike the smooth polished handles of other Fretz hammers, the Revere handles are worked to have a distinctive, deep texture.
