Thought I might show you guys a little gadget I use quite often for forging my choil to shape, as well as other "tasks".
It was part of a thread on another knife site, so as long as the photo links are good, I thought I would post is here for you fine folks.
I think it's VERY handy!
I use it on nearly every knife I make.
No, my anvil is not shiny.
It has an adjustable height by means of a pin in the shaft of the "banger".
This allows the head to always remain parallel with the anvil face and not shape the choil irregularly.
A post welded to the bottom for the hardie hole.
Head will flip back out of the way if anvil face is needed.
I have a few different configurations to accomodate different choils.
Made from scrap, and has a zillion uses. All sorts of different shapes can be used.
