I am not a pro knifemaker, just a hobbiest. This is how I do it.FOG wrote:That press is a good idea. Please post some pics id love to see them, and if you can some of the press and the die as well. Thanks,Bryce
This photo is some nail marks cut with various dremel type wheels. The one on the completed knife is good. The other four are failures and the blades were scrapped. This photo shows stamped marks. The blank blade is soft steel and shows how the stamp looks before clean up straight from the arbor press. the finished knife has had the mark deepened by hand and is ground, hardened and tempered (of course).
