K.C.

I do a little more than knives and plan to do much more later when I have more time in the trade.. Lol I am new to all of this. I have been aging with metal for about twelve years but never like I am trying to do now. I am in Bedford TX on the edge of Fort Worth. I search Craig's List every day when I can but they seem to be a few hundred dollars higher here than anywhere else. I ask at every garage sale I go to and they direct me to northern tool.. Lol I have had a Taiwan anvil... Don't want another. I found a Fisher Norris an hour from me. It was a hundred pounds but was missing about a 2-1/2X5 inch section on the face. He was asking 4 dollars a pound. I also found a Peter Wright that had been beat on really hard.. It was in very poor condition. 160 pounds at 2.50 a pound. If it were a little cleaner it would have been a great price but it had a HARD life. I know it's a long shot but I was hoping some one on here would have an extra laying around.. Hahaha thanks for all the response! This site is much better than NTBA.

Looking for 150 and up. The bigger the better. Style isn't a big deal but a straight horn will work best. I'm making knives straight razors and spurs. I use a short rail road track milled flat right now. It's not big enuf and no horn.

So I have found it to be extremely hard to find an affordable anvil in my area. I watched a 100 pound Swiss anvil go for 560 the other day. Seems way too high and well out of my reach at the moment. I am pretty set up on tools less something to hold the hot metal I wanna work.. Lol. Id like to do some horse trading if anybody is interested. Any help would be great! Thanks a bunch.
