Looks good though, if the shank is close you might consider hot rasping it to fit or forging it down more. What did you forge it from?

Frosty The Lucky.

No forging, just learning to weld and had some free junk from work. The shank is improvised square tubing from angle iron. Couldn't fit as I went as the welder is far from the anvil. I did have some  measurements but the hardy hole has some wear so the narrowest point is narrower than I was able to measure. Probably just use an angle grinder. It's close and if it breaks, I'm out but a little time and up quite a bit of experience. Order of operations is certainly an acquired skill. 

Not quite fit to the anvil yet, but this is my super fresh hot cut. Gonna try to hot fit it today. 

The bottom two look like engraving tools.
