I was wondering if someone with a Nimba Titan could help me out getting some dimensions? I'm looking for dimensions of the face and heel looking downward. Thanks!
 
This is off their site Sam. I saw a dozen of them when I went up and bought my anvil, and they are a very cool anvil!!! :thumbup: :cool:

TITAN ANVIL SPECIFICATIONS

Tip to tip 24-3/4"
Height 7"
Face width 5"
Base width 7"
Base length 11"
Hardie hole 1"
Pritchel hole 5/8"
Weight 120#
 
I look at the website almost daily, I'm looking for the dimension of the face IE 5" by 9" (I am guessing), then the dimension of the heel where it meets the face and to what dimension it tapers to.
 
Yeh, I'm thinking this is my next big purchase. I wish I had something worth 900$ I could sell! That's not any of my other shop tools LOL
 
:D I ain't selling that either :D

Just kidding, I still have it, and love it completely, but the 2 standard anvils I have are a little beat, not unusable by a long shot but it would be nice to have a very flat clean face with sharp corners all around that I could dress to my personal preference. plus I prefer the conical horn over the bulgy horns on most old anvils.
 
Yeh but I have a serious lack of time :D I got an idea on the hammers though that might speed things up to put hammers in hands.

Have you called/emailed the factory? By all accounts, this is a great company, so I'm sure they'd be willing to give you the measurements you're after.

Nick Wheeler's shop tour lead me to their website and I haven't been able to get the Nimbas out of my mind ever since. I was curious to see if anyone had a Titan and could confirm that these anvils are as good as they seem.

Around here, anvils are few and far between, especially in decent condition. I've been looking for almost 2 years now and haven't come across something worth buying within a few hours drive.

All this makes me think a Titan might be my next big purchase as well. Fortunately, I have something I can sell if I can find the right buyer:D
 
I didn't want to sound like a tire kicker :D I knew a few bladesmiths had Titans so I figured they could do it easier.

They are incredible anvils, you'll almost never see a used one, just like the KMG or a Chuck Robinson anvil, they are tools you never get rid of.
 
Sam, I don't know if the new owners do everything the same as the Jaquas used to, but you might inquire if they ever have any "seconds."

I went up there to buy a Centurion, but Russell had two Gladiators that he was calling seconds. I looked over them VERY carefully, and the only thing I could see was each one had a couple little tiny dents in the face. I'm talking like a stray hammer mark... not big huge divots or holes.

Russell said if the shop that did the heat-treating on them wasn't really careful, they'd bang the anvils into something and get a mark like that. His disease was fairly advanced at that point, so it could have been that he just didn't feel like taking the extra 15 minutes to dress the face on those two. :confused:


But my point is that I got a Gladiator for about a hundred bucks more than a Centurion. After awhile of using it, I forgot where the marks were. :)
 
man that would be great
i guess since i am not good at doing things half way i lll have to get a titan atsome point
