For Sale 2lbs cutlers hammers , for knife makers.

[midnight 657]

hi i have forged some weight forward hammers they are in the aprox 2lbs weight range some slightly over some just under . all have quality 12" hickory handles , one is 10" more for detail beveling .

they have a deferential heat treat hard face with softer heal . the steel is s2 high impact steel .

the hammers are 3cm or just over and inch wide on the face to give a high weight to surface area effect , i find them very accurate and work brilliantly for beveling .

£40 recorded postage to your door .

paypal is fine

all the best , matt.

very nice i saw a knifemaker on the telly using one,i think his name was owen bush.do they take a bit of getting used to with all thatweight to the front?

yeah owens one of the top uk smiths , a very busy man with tv work etc , he was the head engineer on scrap heap challenge for 7 years !!

i thought they would be weird to use but there not at al,l more accurate than a normal hammer , them japs know what there doing i spose .

dont worry about shiney there all forged to have small marks etc on them and after one good days use they will no longer be shiney

my hammers look like a seagull has crapped them out ha !!

2lbs hammer is a great tool most used for finnishing and for the first course of blows that set the welds when making damascus , a 2lbs hammer is seen as the perfect weight for that .

you would never beleave how hard it is to forge the bloody wholes in them !!

and gotta keep um straight or with a slight down turn .

intresting things anyway .

all the best , matt

these are expensive for hammer i know what your thinking , but the only place iv ever seen proper hand mades is american where they sell for $100

and the above mr bush makes them now and then for starting price of £90 + post .

im not making much on this if at all , the steel was expensive , they have all been in the forge eating up gas because it takes along time and alot of heat to get them yellow all the way to the core . so gas +steel+time to forge+ aneal+grinding clean + more gas to heat treat+temper+good quality handle+time to fit it all to geather and finaly +post .

if i had not done this to provide myself with a hammer it would not have been worth the effort !

 

hope that justifies the price a little .

if its the black on them that puts you off then its a good thing , its inpregnated sump oil and carbon it will stop rust etc .

please beleave me they will look worse after 2 weeks with out it !

all the best , matt

a little price comparison for you . i know thre is probably not enough forging on this site but you never know you might want to one day !!

these look excellent mate and judging by your works i dont think anyone with half a brain will need you to justify your prices

will you be making any in the future~?

keep up the good work

[midnight 657]

yeah not going to make to order etc , but as i need more tools i will make surplus as i cant get the steel in small volume .

iv got 2 iv been hammering on for a couple of hours each that will be heavier and more square , they are more big metal shifters but in a similar weight class .

i need to make some flatter hammers to at some point .

only one left now . so feel free to make and offer but it will come off the postage as they cost £5 each to post recorded !!

did you make the handles or are they from elsewhere ?
