I may be in the market for a new anvil in the spring, on a somewhat limited budget. I really like the looks of the DTX anvils, and I’m not far from Blacksmith Supply, so I could save on shipping costs. The thing I’m not crazy about is that they’re cast in China, they also appear to be just like the B&W anvils which are also cast in China. Do any of you here have any personal experience or knowledge of these two anvil brands?

I don't have any experience with them, However I have had experience with Holland Anvil in MI and highly recommend them.

I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

Thanks for the response Irondragon. I’ve got a while to research so their anvils will definitely be considered, and in my price range. I really like the south German pattern, and particularly their take on it. My dad has a 275 pound Refflinghaus South German pattern that I’m familiar with, and I like the narrow face, the flat horn, the hardie hole on the same side as the round horn. I have also used a 140 pound Peter Wright anvil, and while a very good anvil I’m not fond of the London pattern. Which particular model Holland anvil do you have experience with?

"I don't have any experience with them" either but I've got a 1939 Ford with a wiring problem you might help me with.

Sure bring it by the shop.
