A classic silversmithing stake on a jewelry-making scale, the F-1 Beak Stake features two ends with a slight taper, which will translate into your metal through repeated hammer blows. Fretz stakes are made from hardened 420-grade stainless steel with highly polished areas to prevent scratching or marring your workpiece. Designed for use with Fretz H-1 or VH-1 holder (holders may be shown in the picture but are sold separately). Made in Vietnam.
