The last two knives were hollow ground on a 2" wheel - the dagger has a convex tip to prevent breakage and was wicked tough to grind (as all daggers go - you JS/MS out there already know this I'm sure). The dagger will be featured in Knives Illustrated sometime this summer.

Thanks Mitch - I did update my signature to reflect my location......I'm hoping to get a little guidance on how to correctly hand forge. I make a lot of bowies out of W-2 and 1095 - I'm hoping to get even more hamon activity with the aid of some forging. Don Hanson III hamons are some of my favorites. Here's a few stock removal knives I recently sold:

Wish I'd known this 40 years ago - I've been married to a keeper for that long so I guess I got lucky..... I'm just an old stock removal knifemaker that wants to do a little hand forging along the way.

Many thanks for the quick response - I'm thrilled with my score

Can you fellas tell me more about my FIsher Anvil - date? It weighs 200 lbs, cast with tool steel top in great condition. It has three raised I (or Roman Numeral III on the base. I got it on a trade for one of my custom knives.
