echofive Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I am in the market for a new anvil and quickly found myself overwhelmed. I was having difficulty keeping up with weights, prices, patterns, etc., so I composed a spreadsheet of all new anvils available for purchase on the US market. I thought I'd share it here for anyone who might find it useful in their own pursuit. I tried my best to make sure the information I included is accurate, but of course, there may be mistakes. I encourage anyone to use, change or share the list if they have the capability to do so, as I'm sure I will not always be around to keep it updated. However if there is a request to add something, feel free to contact me and if I am available, I will try to make changes as needed. I included an XLS spreadsheet for those with Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc so that you can use the sorting functions, sort by price, weight, etc. I also included a PDF which can be opened on pretty much any personal computer whether you have additional software or not. I should also add, I really wanted to include Perun in the list but Blacksmith Depot has hardly any stock so I'm not sure what is available stateside and what isn't. I also didn't include William Barhnart's anvils as I couldn't find any clear information on purchasing or availability. The list was current as of 3/28/21.

echofive Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 2 hours ago, Frazer said: We currently have a running list here. Still, nice list. Yes, I did see the sticky thread. I wanted a list with all the weights, patterns and prices and I wanted to calculate cost per lb, so essentially I made this for my own use. I just shared it for those that might have a similar need.

Jonnytait Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 No need to worry about any of that, Its a good list and a good contribution. I started the thread but its been added to so much now I wouldnt say Its mine, which is a good thing. I started the thread with the intention of getting the word out that there is a lot of companies still making good quality anvils. You have made a good list with more useful information. People looking to buy a new anvil will find it helpful, im sure of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Echofive, thank you for your contribution to the discussion. We have to think 6 months or a year or more ahead, so several posts and threads have been combined to put all the information in one place and allow it to be searchable. If anyone has researched a subject, please post those findings on the site in order to help others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavpilot2k Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I love this thread because I see so many people acting like anvil-making is a lost art and anvils made prior to, say, 1940, are superior to modern anvils. Sure, the mid 20-th century onward saw a lot of lesser quality anvils, but the technology is by no means lost. A hardened face on a wrought body does NOT a superior anvil make. I've got more anvils than I need (a 173 lb Fisher, and a 120 and 190 ln Trentons) but I look forward to the day when my forge proceeds allow me to buy a new German 100 kilo anvil.
