Mag Smith STANDARD Die Profiles

Butcher

Asymmetric Fuller

Symmetric Fuller

The butcher is used to set the location of a sharp, square shoulder across the width of  bar stock.  A practical application for a butcher die is to establish the shoulder for a tenon.

Symmetric Fuller

Asymmetric Fuller

Symmetric Fuller

The symmetric fuller is used to set a symmetric, or vee shaped transition across the width of a bar, or a forged groove along the length of a bar.  A practical application for the symmetric fuller die is to forge a fuller along the spine of a knife blade.

Flat Swage

Square Swage

Asymmetric Fuller

The flat swage is used in combination with Butcher die to reduce and flatten a section of bar.  Rectangular tenons at the end of a bar will need to be finished with a flat swage.

Round Swage

Square Swage

Square Swage

The round swage is used to form a round tenon on the end of a bar or to forge a section of bar to a specific diameter.  The round swage dies are machined after the dies have been split so the diameter is a true circle and on-size.

Square Swage

Square Swage

Square Swage

The square swage is used to form a square tenon on the end of a bar or to forge a square section from round bar stock.  The square swage dies are machined after the dies have been split so the cross section is a true square and on-size.
