Part of the new Fretz NH Short Series. The NH-1S carries two flat, mirror-polished round faces for planishing — smooth away forming marks, refine and work-harden surfaces, and leave a finish that needs almost no cleanup.

Why the NH Short Series is special:

  • Short head and handle for super control
  • Scaled for fine jewelry crafting
  • Hardened 420 stainless steel head with polished faces — can be repolished if ever needed
  • Oil-finished Padauk wood handle shaped to rest in the palm for super comfort
  • Bolt-through handle screw — the handle will never work loose
  • Handle length approx. 225 mm (8.9″); head length 70–73 mm
  • Designed by jewelers, for jewelers

Richard ★★★★★

Swung this hammer for an hour and the mirror-polished faces leave such a clean surface I barely needed to sand. The balance is perfect for my jeweler’s bench, and it feels solid without being too heavy.

Michael U. ★★★★★

Took this hammer to a batch of copper bowls and the flat faces let me smooth out those forming marks without leaving any new dings. The mirror polish means I can skip the extra sanding step entirely, which is a huge time saver.

Claire ★★★★★

The mirror-polished faces are exactly as described, and the weight feels perfectly balanced for controlled, even strikes. It smooths out forming marks beautifully and leaves that bright finish, so I've barely had to do any cleanup after planishing.
