Aug 20, 2004 · Looking to buy a new anvil and think I have narrowed it down to the 120lb Nimba or 165lb Peddinghaus. Both are about the same price and are about the top of my budget. My first thought is to go with the heavier anvil. Any suggestions from those that have used them? Cory

Oct 2, 2019 · A couple weeks back I reached out to Nimba about a shipping quote and to buy an anvil. Long story short I've emailed and called a few times and it's been a few weeks and I have not heard anything. The website is up and the voicemail has a message that makes it clear they are open for business; but I've no idea when that message was recorded.

Dec 4, 2001 · I like the Nimba and am planning on purchasing one in the near future. In this area of my life, I'd say I'm more of a blacksmith turned knife-maker and still do a significant amount of non-knife related forging. The hardy/pritchel holes are in a good position if you use a lot of tooling.

May 18, 2004 · When my shop was set up I had 3 anvils. A 150 Trenton, 120 Titan Nimba, and a 120 Swedish anvil. The one that saw the most action was the Swedish and its the one I'm still using in my temporary situation. I can't say anything bad about the Nimba but if I had to do with just one anvil I'd stick with the Swedish anvil.

Feb 10, 2007 · Hi, What is your opinion of the Nimba 260lb Centurion anvil?:thumbdn: :thumbup: Or what new anvil out there is any good??? Thanks!!!

Mar 14, 2000 · I bought a Nimba Centurion anvil. It's an Italian-style, double-bick 260 pound paperweight made by Russell Jaqua, of Port Townsend, WA. I'm very impressed with this anvil. The lines and finish are just what one would expect from a true metal artisan. Nice folks to deal with too. Now I can't wait to get a base made and start using it.
