Pros & Cons
Pros
The quality is second to no other anvil. It has great rebound and a nice ring to it. It's so nice to have an absolute top notch anvil to do cold steel work on.
The anvil has both the rigid name and the peddinghaus name on its side along with the weight of 35 ( kg) there are a lot of anvils out there but this one is the one i would buy again but will never need to. The price on amazon is the best i've found a... Read More

It is hard and has excellent rebound.
A cast iron or poorly made anvil will make more of a dull or thud sound.
I have forged out two knives on it and you can’t tell it’s ever been hit (500+) times a hammer.
Price
And the price on amazon is the best i’ve found anywhere.

I wanted a forged anvil and quickly learned that the prices are sky high.
Would like to have hade the larger sized one, but for the price this one works great in my shop.
Shipping
First off i'm really surprised and happy they offer free shipping thanks.
I will be ordering the model #12 just wish it had free shipping!
Packaging/appearance
Plain to see that you had an anvil delivered to your porch.
It was delivered with a piece of plywood on it's face and the rest was wrapped in cardboard.
Competitiveness
I looked all over the internet for a good used one, and all i found was beat up old ones with an outrageous price on them or ch... Read More
Quite an increase putting it closer to the similar sized competition when shipping is considered.

However while the 134 hardy hole does go all the way through the anvil it does not go all the way through as a 134 square hole the bottom 134 or so is rounded so hardy tools that are wedged through the bottom cant be used

I looked around and there are other sources of new anvils usually smaller manufactures with anvils at the rigidpeddinghaus price point by weight if you didn’t consider the added shipping cost but the price jump now completely changed that equation

Some of the others are prettier advertise hand dressed surfaces and have more intriguing horn and body shaping

Many however seem designed more for the farrier or another special use than for the general black and blade smith

I also looked for but could not find in my area a vintage anvil of made of decent forged steel as opposed to cast that was in anything like good shape in this pricesize range

Chipped and broken edges cut marks and sway backs at ridiculous prices were the norm which sent me looking for new
