What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are contradictory: the title says anvil and identifies a 65 Mn steel blade, while product details and feature text say bypass and alloy steel. Other description text says carbon steel and describes a solid base. PowerGear2 is also claimed in one feature, while another description only says PowerGear-style mechanics. Confirm the selected listing's blade type, steel and mechanism before buying. The 2-inch capacity is a listing claim, not an independently verified result.
