Thank you so much for all of y’all’s responses! These are the two I narrowed it down to (at the bottom of this post.) I know for a fact that my husband has saved these two as two of his most liked anvil preferences because they are saved on his cell phones home screen. BIGGUNDOCTOR; After reading your response about the Anvils made out of Texas I remembered that is EXACTLY what my husband was going on and on about the type of anvil he would really want! So thank you for that! THOMASPOWERS; I know I shouldn’t invest HIS money in an anvil because he will know exactly what he wants but I know for sure he has saved these 2 anvil options as his top favorites. And about the belt grinder, he has a 2x42 bucktool belt grinder and he ordered some sort of special abrasive belts to go with it? We can’t afford to get the big boy grinder (2x72) IRONDRAGON & GEORGE GEIST; I was decided for sure between two anvils (listed below) until I brought up Emerson to my husband!!! He said those are really good! So now it’s between the 2 below and an Emerson PNUT; thank you on behalf of all women for recognizing a nice gesture and for saying thank you!

I am surprising my husband with an anvil. We live in Houston, Texas and he has been making railroad spike knifes along with small to medium size knifes, for the past year and I sell them online. Right now he uses a 70 pound piece of crap type of anvil. He has done so much research (too much research) that I figured I would just surprised him by buying a good quality top rated anvil. I want to do this before he ends up waiting too long and we end up spending the money on something else. I am looking to spend around $500 (maybe a little more say $650) on a 125 pound Anvil. I do not want to get him a used one though. So basically what I am asking everyone is this; if you had $600 to spend on only a new anvil that is around 125lbs, what would be the brand you would purchase? Or even better what would be the brand and link you purchase it from? If someone can PLEASE point me in the right direction, that would be extremely helpful!
