Rockforge Hammers

[Cypress Creek Knives]

Hey all, I recently picked up a Hay-Budden anvil from my grandmothers house and I wanted some input on hammers that are safe to use with it. I have a 1.8 lb and 4lb hammer from Rockforge. I was wondering if these are okay to use with the anvil or if I need to order special blacksmithing hammers. Thank you!

Personally, I use a $15 3lb cross pein that I cut about 4 inches off the handle. I dressed the face on it. I'd love to have a fancy hammer but $150+ just isn't gonna happen right now. So I'll just stick to cheap one.
