Hardy (blacksmithing)

Hardy (blacksmithing)

The hardy refers to a square hole in an anvil and various tools that fit inside that hole. As the hardy hole is square, the tools used in it will not turn. ["The Complete Bladesmith", p. 10]

Different hardy tools are used to form and cut metal. The swage is used to make metal round for final use as nails, bolts, rods or rivets. The fuller is used to help bend metal, and make dents and shoulders. Many hardy shapes have corresponding hammer shapes to help form metal, for example a "V"-shaped fuller is used with an inverted "V"-shaped hammer to form iron into an angle shape.
