Foundry Collection — Hand-Hammered Three-Piece Cocktail Shaker
FORGED BY HAND.
A three-piece cocktail shaker in hammered matte nickel and black walnut. Built for the ritual of the perfect pour.
We don't make barware. We make the quiet object that turns ingredients into a moment.
RACWPUSE was founded on a simple belief: the tools you use every day should be the ones you love most. Not the shiniest. Not the cheapest. The ones that feel right in your hand, that age with grace, that make every drink feel intentional.
Every dimple. Struck by hand.
Each RACWPUSE shaker begins as a flat disc of matte nickel stainless steel, worked slowly under a ball-peen hammer. No two indentations share the same depth. No two surfaces catch the light in quite the same way.
The texture is alive. Condensation gathers differently across its surface. Shadows shift as you turn it. It is, by design, imperfect — and that imperfection is the entire point.
From disc to shaker in five hands.
Three pieces. One motion.
Matte nickel. Black walnut. Nothing else.
Matte nickel-plated 304 stainless — not the cold flash of polished chrome, not the pretension of copper. It develops a quiet patina with use, growing more personal with every drink.
North American black walnut, hand-turned and oil-finished. Each inlay is fitted to its metal counterpart by hand, sanded to a seamless transition you can feel but cannot see.
We tested them all. These won.

32 holes. Drilled one by one.
The strainer disc features 32 precision-drilled 2.5mm holes, arranged in concentric rings for even flow. Each hole is deburred by hand — no sharp edges, no trapped pulp, no slow pours.
Drink flows through. Ice stays in. Every single time.
Numbers that matter.
Four motions. One drink.
Made to last decades. If you let it.
— Dry immediately with a soft cloth
— Oil walnut parts twice a year with food-safe mineral oil
— Store assembled in a dry place
— Use the cap as a jigger — that's what it's for
— Don't use abrasive sponges or steel wool
— Don't leave liquid sitting in it overnight
— Don't freeze it (thermal shock can crack walnut)
— Don't use it as a weapon (we know it feels like one)
Measured. Verified.
"The best tools are the ones you stop noticing — because they simply do what they should, beautifully, every single time."
