That was my thought Thomas, its very slim pickings here in CA. I do have a larger 350lb anvil thats my work horse but the horns a bit blunt and a real nice railroad track anvil for small stuff so this is a great middle ground. Suurrreeee!!!! Black Frog i will mail it out tomorrow :D Thanks you for the extra info Copilot, glad to hear they are thought so highly of by some.

Thank you Black Frog you have been a major help and made me feel better about dropping $100 on it.

Ummmm.... I think I will hang on to it for a bit hahaha well now that i know it a good anvil I will share the price and see if in your opinion i got a good deal or not. $100 I thought it was a great deal but...

Arm & Hammer... I heard A&H were not the best brand to have, now I kinda have buyers remorse.

Picked up this anvil today on the scale it was 79lbs, wasnt sure of the make. Any help of comments on the quality of this anvil would be much appreciated.

i do understand what your saying sir i was just defensive in the fact i was just defensive on my work the bottom of the "V" is actually rounded to reduce stress fractures at that point in a true sense of a knife this is it cuts it stabs it whittles. it does not and will not hammer pry and baton. i do appreciate your knowledge and expertise. the people i have looking to purchase it now are hard core Dungeons and Dragons players and total book worms with absolutely NO intent of ever using it and they were even more excited to hear it had a high carbon blade it feed into their zeal for a "real dwarven dagger" lol and if the invite is an honest friendly invite i would accept to get with another smith and test a gamut of tang designs and importance's of no sharp notches from blade to tang. if it was bring the knife and lets try and break it weellll there's another answer for that... lol

by usable i mean its not meant to be taken out and used with a baton to build your bushcraft shelter. the blade is very sturdy with great flex and spring. i did not razor sharpen it for the fact that it might be purchased as a display or "wall hanger" and not as a daily use knife. even the thinnest part under the large "V" is thicker spine to blade than most knives with the same blade length. As for a lawyer, the only way this knife will break is with true misuse, not because of the design. So if i misuse a drill bit and snap it and it cuts me i can call a lawyer and go after craftsman or whoever made the bit? (there's the problem with the world) Thank you for the kind words Matt Smith it spells out "Thorn" the name of the knife.

I really just wanted to give it that Tolkien feel with the blade design. do you mean the copper cap on the handle or back/spine of the blade?
