Title: Pattern Stamping Dies?
Post by: Ragnarok Forge on June 15, 2011, 11:28:00 PM
Ok,
Tricia has been very patiently waiting for me to put together some kitchen knives and a cleaver for her camp kitchen.  She looked at me recently and hands on hips told me time was up and I had better cough up some knives or else.   She wants the cleaver to have a rough textured finish near the spine.  More specifically she wants a patterned texture instead of just a rough hammer forged texture.  I can make up a tool to punch the surface texture she wants but it will take forever with one small tool.  I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy texturing dies.  I have seen them around, I just don't know where to buy them.
