How good is this anvil
« on: April 03, 2011, 09:10:00 PM »
Got a 108 lb kohlswa anvil from Sweden, I know it's no Peter wright, or haybudden, but the ring sounds good.
If you have one or know anything about them please let me know. Big thanks to my dad which had given it to my brother and my brother traded it to me

Swedish anvils are supposed to be quite good.  I have one that Mark Aspery picked out for me by just looking over a pile of different anvils last fall...Jeff

Those are VERY good anvils,  or at least the ones I have seen are.
