Here are some details about the Hofi-Anvil
The weight is 120 kg
(in the middle age system this seems to be 265 pounds if I found the right conversion formula)
This is a good size and really there is no need for another size.
You can do so many things with this size of anvil and its intelligent design that you will not request for another anvil.
May be only for some very special works it could be useful to have another size.
The steel of that anvil is the same like of the Hofi-Hand-Hammer. (Of the cast hammer, not the hand forged hammer).
It is a Chrome-Vanadium steel which is very resistant and has proofed its quality with the hand hammer.
I have never seen a broken hammer of this series and I have sold many.
The casting of the anvil is done with "lost wax casting" which gives a good quality like forging.
The heat treatment is done very carefully. This is the most critical point at the production of an anvil.
The hardness of the surface is 54 to 56 HRC.
The design of the anvil is quite sophisticated. At a first glance it may look just like one of the many anvils. But it designed in many details to have more possibilities than with other anvils and to have an easier work. Again Hofis design can be called ergonomic.
We are preparing a small video to show the details and how to use it.
Not only the anvils must be considered. Its complete worth is only developed if is together with its stand. It is a tripod, you can go very close to the anvil, it stands very solid on the floor.
I know many were waiting for this anvil. It took longer than scheduled to organise the production. But now the anvil is available.
We can show and explain more details of this beautiful anvil in the next time.
And when the details are clearer concerning resellers in the USA we will also post it here. or the resellers will do it.
