These Picard peening hammers, for use with the bar peen anvil, are probably the best that can be purchased new in the UK.
Peening with an anvil requires a more specialized hammer such as this one.
With a peening jig, any standard hammer about 1lb / 500g in weight can be used.
The face of peening hammers must be kept smooth and shiny as any dint or defect in the face of the hammer will be imprinted in the blade being peened. A peening hammer should be reserved for peening with an anvil only and NEVER used with the jig, or worse yet, to hammer in nails!
We are now getting these hammers supplied polished. They are so shiny you can see your reflection in the face!
