  1. Hey all, thank you VERY much for the replies. Ill be back
  2. Thanks for the fast reply, Wulf. I'm sure posts like this are a dime a' dozen around here... I was mostly concerned with the rounded/bludgeoned edges around the table and face. As well as the dents on the tip of the horn. But again, it's my first anvil, so I just wasn't sure.
  3. I've been searching for an anvil for a while and they're quite expensive locally- around $4+ a lbs. My primary interest lies in blademithing, both utility and kitchenware. Though, I am very intrigued with larger scale work, as well. I found a 120lbs William Foster, listed for $340. It's been listed for a while, so I'm hoping I can talk the seller down, a little... I've read about the tests that should be performed: hitting it with a hammer and listening, dropping a ball bearing, etc. But how does it look to your seasoned eyes? I see no delam, or cracking, just some serious work that's been lain on this hunk of metal. Just looking for opinions. It's not my intention to steal it, but I want to be sure I'm not getting hosed. Thanks!
