I got asked a question the other day that I could not answer, and I can't find the answer anywhere? What size are the wheels used to grind out the hollow back of traditional kitchen knives?

Using this as a typical wheel, my guess would be in the area of about 3 foot Dia.
Here's a good one too

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.
A couple of knives I have bought seem to have 2 different sizes of shallowness. Meaning 2 different sizes of wheels.
Chewie's the man.
I thought the hollow back was created during the forging process...like with a hammer.

I do not regret watching the second video one bit. That was actually pretty freakin' amazing to watch. I like the serious face turned big goofy grin, at the end.
Ok, I just watched the Carter one and it was awesome too.
We're getting a new wheel from Japan soon and I was told that it was over 500 kgs.
