I have a Cliff Carroll anvil they are very high quality! The 35 pound anvil as many have pointed out is way too light for iron work! It was made specifically for JEWELLERS using non ferrous metals such as copper, brass and silver. It was never intended for use with iron or steele, Still, I believe Cliff Carroll who I spoke to via phone told me it is hardened to rockwell 45 or more, sorry I really can't recall now as its been a couple of years. I did look up the rockwell number he told me and was suitably impressed.
Call yourself - all I know is I'm extremely pleased with my purchase of a Cliff Carroll anvil.
