pnut Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Cutler's hammer? I've seen a video of an English cutler Making knifes with a hammer that had an angled face like that one. You could forge sitting down with it;-) Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boilerguy Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 cutlers hammers ( or dog face hammers ) have the weight forward and not at a angle ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Mr. Shimanek, Great reference, interesting story. Thank you. Are such cutlers' hammers still being made and sold? If so by whom and where. They look very useful. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
