Hello ya'll. I'm looking at purchasing an anvil. Both are in the 100 lb range. The left is what's called Italy style, notice how long the rear portion with the holes is? Pretty thin which doesn't seem like that would be good for hammering on. BUT - most of the hammering/forging would take place forward of the holes - wouldn't it? If that is the case, the rear portion being thin would put more of the mass toward the center where most of the forging would take place, away from the holes in the anvil. The right hand anvil has more metal around the holes - is that better?
Looking for some guidance here.
