anvilfreak Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 ASMEsecIX prices differ a lot, from cheap to rediculously expensive. Ive seen them going anything from R15/kg to R60 /kg. The exchange rate at the moment is about 1$=R10.50 Thanks Caotropheus. What is ASO'S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I recognize Tiaan's axe in the middle, and on the left was made by Neels. Is the top one by Hylton? Who made the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's a "harem" of anvils as the collective term... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's a "harem" of anvils as the collective term...I suppose that relates to how badly you were "rolled" when you bought them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvilfreak Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi Jacques. Yes, the axes are from Tiaan, Neels, Hylton, and the other two damascus steel axes i got from a friend overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
