Mimir's Well

Thank you, K. Bryan Morgan! I'll check them out.

www.kowalperun.com is their store. (sorry for the double post above!)

Thanks for the above replies. I'm in Washington state, Kitsap County. They claim to be reccomended by the Polish Blacksmith Assoc., and to be "the largest provider of specialized tools and equipment for artistic blacksmithing in Poland." As mentioned by John McPherson, they do appear to have a serialized name plate in the pictures, but the website gives no hard numbers as to their specs other than what they gave me in the email. They sure are a good looking anvil, and only $755 for a 90kg (200lbs). I have no idea about shipping costs...

Hello, I'm a wannabe blacksmith (with maybe 75 hours of class time), looking to buy an anvil, new or used. I came across Perun anvils and couldn't find a review. I sent them the following email and got the response below. Does anyone have exerience with Perun anvils? Please note that the spelling and grammer in their response is due to the language difference...For example, I'm assuming that "as a unit way" is meant to be "in a unique way..."

What is the percent rebound? > Hi, Each anvil is manufactured as a unit way so their hardness can be different. We try to make their hardness was 52-54 HRC - sometimes there are little harder anvils or softer. The measurement we perform by the laboratory hardness tester (electronic hardness usually indicate hardness 60 - 64 HRC which is not true, because they work on the principle of reflection balls and this translates into a fairly large measurement error.) We try to make face had a similar hardness in each point therefore its edges are tempered to less hardness so as to the edges does not crumble at work. Regards Paulina Białowąs
