welder19 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has ever heard of or used an Nimba Anvil? Just wondering how good they are? Here is their web site, they have 3 sizes, 450lb $2275, 260lb $1650, and 120lb $900, they list $ per lb on the site. They sound pretty good, made of 8640 cast steel, not that I have that kind of money but I came across the site and just was currious.Nimba Anvils Home Page welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Murch Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Nimba anvils are in the group of the best anvils being made. Russel Jaqua started having them produced. He was a talented smith and passed away last year. The anvils are still being produced. The castings are very good and they are finished very nicely.

welder19 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thank's, it sounded like they were a good anvil, I just am not real up on anvil makers of today, like who's good and who's not, with out seeing one any way. I am saving money up and either gonna get a new or like new anvil and if I go with new I want to know how good all the options are. Any recomendations? It will probably be about a year or so before I will have enough money, just doing some window shopping right now. Thanks! welder19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pook Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The Nimba anvils are very nice. have a friend up here making some nice german patterned anvils. He sells quite a few of them and ships them all over. I think he has 100 and something lbs ones, 400ish lb and 600lbs. I'm scrapping penny's up to one day buy a 600lb. PM me if you want his contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I have a Nimba gladiator It is a fine anvil The only thing that i can find any fault with at all is the pritchle hole is on the horn right where the face starts ( i just thought that was a little odd). I went ahead and bought mine right after Jaqua passed away because i wanted to make sure that i got one that was personally dressed by him.

fogwoman Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I bought my Nimba Titan from Russell about 3 years ago. Excellent anvil from a very inspirational man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
