Was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this. Is the Anyang ST company a totally different company from Anyang AFP? 

I'm not in the market for a power hammer, but noticed a blacksmith in the UK has become a dealer for Anyang ST hammers. If these are in fact two different companies all together, which one is the real and original? Just thought it would be good to clear this up for anyone looking to buy, might be something to look out for. 

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes ST and AFP is two seperat companies. 

ST team  has staff that had worked at AFP for many many years. They are very skilled power hammer manufactures.   

On of the reasons that several of AFP staff left AFP was low wages and started ST. AFP is a huge companie and they small power hammer devition is less then 5% of their main business focus. But AFP makes great power hammers , but the production time is very long. 

Reasons way ST started out was to focus on power hammers 15-75 kg and forge presses.  They had the contact needed to get this up running quickly and the experience to quickly manufacture a good Chines made hammer. If your looking for a power hammer ST is an great option.

James we both know power hammers are an old design ,and the chinese manufactures has been using European or Russian hammers as inspiration for their "own" design. 

I have several times read that "inventions" that the AFP team clame to come up with has been around for years. I had one of the AFP dealers living in my house for some days 2 years ago , we had a great time. When a showed him a photo from 2010(with a date ) of an chinese hammer the had "upgrades" that the 2018 AFP team clame to come up with newly, the subject quckly changed to something else.   

James I admit that you work hard to feed AFP to imporve the hammer, but you diddent invent it any major design changes, sorry. 

Who was the frist to get an Chinese made hammer with H13 dies? 

ST started wrongly with a group of staff how quit their job at AFP of different reasons. Its wrong to take an drawing to gain their own cause. Same is saying that ST dont have the skills needed to make a very good hammer . Even AFP have bought parts  and casted hammer body from then when they diddent have in their own stock. All parts and hammer frames was bought from ST buy AFP under the close down prosess. These hammer was rebranded and shipped to you in the US and sold as AFP hammer. 

ST has a great team with higly skilled person that will continue to make power hammers. 

James please stop saying "We call the Anyang ST the Stolen Technology hammer". Its a complex matter and it will not gain your own business in the end. 

Stay safe.
