Forging Hammers

A good commercial cross-peen hammer must be modified with a slight curve for foldforming. The straight corners of an unmodified hammer peen will leave unwanted end-marks in the metal with each blow. The ends of a properly curved peen will not, with practice. Jewelers with access to a grinder and knowledge how to use it safely can modify their own hammers. Otherwise, a local metal shop should be able to grind it for you.
