First Impressions, clang for the buck? Can not beat the price per pound. Arched base moves weight up into the striking face=more working area than traditional anvis with solid base. Brand new, never struck "not"collectable which is good....now you can keep a fresh edge and not cry about taking your 7in grinder to the other edge and get that tapered bevel you wish was on your classic avail but don't want to grind a 140year old beauty. Not so great features, pritchle hole is on the horn butted up against the face.....not good 1 it's way to big a hole, 2 it's right we're the step should be.... Which by the way is missing completely and a huge problem "I'd recommend not chisel cuting on the horn as that big hole is there and I'd be worried to lose the horn completely" just use something else for striking hard tools in not this anvil. Only other glaring thing I don't care for is how short and wide the horn is,. Will have to see how it performs in the future. Otherwise you can't lose for the price and free shipping if you need a good size anvil and are in a bugget....... don't hesitate just get one, easy decision.
