good day,
I'm an American currently in France, full time bladesmith of kitchen cutlery
Looking at some anvils, from dealers in Austria and Italy
I like the looks, size and weight of a Firminy anvil - DATED 1922 WITH 136 KG MARKED = 299 LBS
I'm looking at pics of it online...question, why is the horn slightly raised and sloping upwards?
From the flat area transition to the horn, there is a slight raised hump, what is the purpose of this design.
I don't really use a horn in bladesmithing
thanks
Harbeer
