Hello again, thanks very much for your replies!
Yes I am in New Zealand and have actually just started looking into tooling up for some basic Blacksmithing, with the goal of knifemaking on the horizon.
There are a few other anvils on that auction site around the $200 nzd mark (I think thats about 130 ~ 150 USD? )
But thats a lot of money for me atm. I was interested in this one primarily as it came with the Hardy cutting tool.
Do people generally make their own Hardy tools for specific purposes or should I expect that they will be supplied with an anvil (if bought new)?
Happy New Year by the way!
