Tai's Fuller Tool
Here's a custom tool Tai made recently to carve fuller grooves into blades. You can see the results on that last integral of his I posted.

Todd,
I'm assuming it's a push tool, the handle looks rounded on the far side. I can see that it has an adjustable stop to determine where on the blade it will scrape. Is the depth adjustable? I couldn't tell. I could see having different cutters for other fullers; wider, shallower, even a multi-groove cutter if it was needed.
BTW, I just got laid off an hour ago, so I'll have more time to do projects. lol...

And now gainfully unemployed!
I think I would try using it to pull, but pushing would work too. I don't think it has an adjustable depth because you probably wouldn't want another tool surface rubbing along the blade.
Sorry to hear about the job thing. Sounds like it's happening all over. Wow. Hope you can find another job soon.
Todd,
Ok so you just do it until you have the depth you're looking for, I guess you get a feel for it. The Japanese have a similar tool I think it is called a "Sen".
Thanks, I'm pretty sure we'll make it through this too. I wasn't expecting it this quick, and I thought I would have a bit of warning, but that's the way it rolls! But I'm not going to sweat it. I'll have a bit more time to fish with Blake.
BTW I got a new post on one of my knives.

Pablo, I'm sure Tai wouldn't mind if you copied his tool.
Feliz Navidad to you too!
Thanks!
