Ridgid-Peddinghaus anvils are still the best. Don't be fooled by "Peddinghaus-style" anvils that are not actually Ridged-forged

The Ridgid-Peddinghaus anvils are forged steel anvils from the waist up. Some other anvils may have a forged top plate, but not the whole top half. These anvils are forged by Ridgid-Peddinghaus—Ridge Tool Co (Ridgid) in Germany and shipped from Ridge Tool consolidating at the port of Antwerp, Belgium.

The top face of the Peddinghaus anvil is ground and induction hardened to 58 Rockwell, providing a lively surface to work on. Peddinghaus anvils are flat from front to back. The center to tip of the horns drop slightly. Flat and round horns may be lower than the center face of the drop-forged anvil.

If you have never tried a two-horn anvil......there is a reason why the majority of European blacksmiths use them. What do you use the heel on your London pattern for? Most people's answer is that the heel holds the hardy tool. If your answer is not better than this, then you're missing out on all the other useful areas of a two-horn anvil.
