JT Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 is the chipping on the edge of this a real concern ? its a Swedish Kohlswa .. thanks, JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo7 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Yes without fixing it up, that whole piece is ready to fly off. Still worth looking at tho, knock that price out and round the entire edge off and get forging on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I saw the crack extending also.. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenforge Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The chipping no problem, the crack between the chips problem. I couldnt see the crack on my phones screen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo7 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The cracked piece is what I would knock out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading I don't think so but does this anvil have a metal plate in the striking area ? I believe Kohlswa's are cast steel anvils..

JT Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 so is this 438 lb. Kohlswa anvil with the original cast iron base, with this damage on one side, worth $1800.00 ??? heres a photo of the other side with the base.. thanks, JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McPherson Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It certainly would be to me, and I already own a 330 pound anvil in that Southern German pattern. This fat guy would trade up in a skinny minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The only one who needs to answer that question is you... Is it worth it to you at that price? If so, then get it , and get hammering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 A cast Swedish steel anvil on a factory stand with an hour or so worth of damage to clean up with a disk grinder on one edge for about $4.00/lb? I'd have it in my pickup, no questions asked. Deb'd make me sell some stuff but my Soderfors is safe, Okey Dokey. It's a beauty, no fooling a blacksmith's centerfold. Frosty The Lucky.

JT Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 ok thank you guys !! the damage was my biggest concern.. just wasn't sure about it.. so.. just radius the entire edge until its gone ?? JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 another shot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranchmanben Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'd scoop that up in a heart beat. Personally, I'd use the edge as is and see if the crack gets bigger. If not, carry on. If it expands, whip out the grinder. It all depends on the size of work done on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfall Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Buy it fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc1 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 That crack makes it almost worthless. If you post the location and phone number of the owner I may buy it for scrap metal ... Seriously now, that anvil is worth north of $3000 over there and some $5000 down here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matei campan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If you radius that area you still have sharp edge over the horn and shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
