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.

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.

The asymmetric 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.

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.

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.

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.

Custom die geometry can be delivered for your special projects. Typical applications might include a custom radius, stepped or offset profile, or perhaps a two-step operation that can be machined into a single full-sized die.
