Matto: pricier then the other.

Also, I am in contact with a machining firm, to take a round stock, of 5-8" of 4140 or 4340, cut it to length, roughly 100-150lbs and heat treatment it. I am waiting for a reply on price. My thinking is, my main use will be for knives, and shop tools. That way, I would only need a very small face to hammer on, and all the weight would be directly below the anvils face. Not out to the sides, or in the horns.

For what I intend to do with it.. I should get the smallest one. Buuut.. the 300 pounder is very tempting!

Norway.

So I dont have access to cheap used ones, in the states..

Hi.

First post here..

I am about to purchase a new anvil. This is mostly just for my own pleasure, and making knifes, swords and shop tools.

The Kohlswa anvil I am looking at is the F84 type.

What I was most "concerned" about, is the notion or concensus is that Forged is better then Cast.

Your thoughts on the matter?
