When I get a new anvil I clean it and then beat the crap out of it with a 4 lb sledge. Some people say you need to clean it and then use a 3 lb sledge for at least 300 swings with both the right and left hands. I have seen some guys clean their new anvil and then go whackin it with an 8 lb sledge right away... not sure how this will affect the anvil in 30-40 years time. Good luck!
