Hollow forging.

[Keith Montgomery]

I would really appreciate any help I can get in finding bladesmiths that can hollow forge a blade. I know that Wild Bill Caldwell does this on his Airborne Ranger and I would love to know about other makers that do this.

Hi Keith,
I went back to a thread I started awhile ago which asked why we don't see hollow ground/forged blades from bladesmiths. The link is below.
Nick Wheeler, Jerry Fisk, Kit Carson and Herb Derr were some names in that thread who have done it.

Thanks, I remember that thread. I will check with a couple of these makers after Blade. I don't want to take up their valuable time until the big show is over.

Out of all the knives in this category this one is my favorite.
