Bo T Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Anyone know anything about Schulz anvils? It's listed at 280#, has a double step to the horn, 2 round holes in back (one small) and a hardy hole in front with a small ?table? on the right. Looks cast. If it is OK I can post the CL link.

AddictedToSwedes Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I noticed that anvil as well. My cousin and I couldn't find anything about the maker, though we wondered if it wasn't a version of the rhino anvils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Direct links to others ads are not allowed, but there was only one photo with the listing in Spokane, Washington. 280 pounds for $850 seems steep for an unknown maker, I would want to test it in person before I reached for my wallet.

SJS Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't like the step but if it has good rebound, 280# is pretty decent for 3$ a pound... I would rather have a Refflinghaus, or a Peddinghaus but they run 6-8$ a pound... Some people really like steps, I use mine some but would be just as happy with out one. If I had the money and needed a big shop anvil I would definitely go check it out. Doesn't hurt to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, better than a Fisher even, when around one in use, "I HEAR NOTHING." Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJS Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So did you go look at it, did it have decent rebound, do you have a new anvil??? Enquiring Minds want to know??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo T Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) The advertisement was pulled the day after I first posted. But, it is up again. I gave them a call and was told it was made locally by a gentleman named Gene Schulz. It appears to be sand cast and milled. The person I talked with said it was steel. But....you know how that goes sometimes. If I get the chance, and it is still available, I'll check the rebound, Edited April 17, 2015 by Bo T changed word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will. K. Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 A thread on the design & making of the anvil:http://www.bladesmithsforum.com/index.php?showtopic=27056 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Update:I ended up with that anvil. Good looking piece with nice ring. Hasn't been used enough yet to see if it has negatives.I didn't have any large bearing balls to test with but an 11/32" dia ball from 24" bounces back to 17" and from 36" bounces to about 26" Indication is that the material (listed as a proprietary stainless steel) isn't bad/brittle---but it'll take a lot more blows to tell the whole tale.At this point, it doesn't look like a boat anchor...
