Anyone familiar with these hammers? I was in a shop today and saw one. Tag said it was made in Grinnell Iowa.

There is one in the restored blacksmith shop in New Braunfels. Sadly, we did not have power inside the shop so never tried to fix the hammer but it appears complete and could probably be returned to working shape.

Hey Birdog and Lamey,
Been working too many other projects lately. Don't have any new info on the "koch" Modern Hammer. Will continue this winter.

Thanks.
The machine I saw came from a knifemakers shop in Kentucky.
