[TheForge] Anvils Non Farrier

Tue Feb 4 15:34:04 2003

www.centaurforge.com	a good selection of farrier and non-farrier
			anvils, can be pricey

www.kayneandson.com     Peddinghaus anvils

www.nimba.com           USA-made anvils

www.forgeananvil.com    Czech made, good prices

www.oldworldanvils.com	Peddinghaus, other anvils.

There are dozens more suppliers out there, do a quick google search
and you'll see.

For knife/swordmaking, not much need for a horn. Some knifemakers and 
swordmakers I know just use a block of good steel from a junkyard and use 
that. Given the work that the Japanese do with what amounts to just a block
of steel, that may be the way to go.

For armoring, your're going to need a variety of forming stakes, odd hammers,
stumps with depressions in them, etc. Shop around, check out car body supply
places, and you'll find what you need. Some of the anvil suppliers also
cary this stuff, but if you're handy with a welder and know a good junkyard,
you can make most of the stuff yourself.
