Personally I would have opted for a 3 jaw.
4 Jaw self centring chucks can be problematic as they will tend to grip fully with only 2 of the 4 jaws. Even if the chuck itself is very accurate then the work piece has to be likewise to get consistent grip on all 4 jaws.

And the advantage of a non-self-centring 4-jaw is that you can offset the workpiece if the job calls for it. 
I already have a quality four jaw independent by Pratt Burnerd for the lathe. This cheap one is just for chucking stuff up quickly where it's not too critical. I have another lathe too for that matter as you can never have too much stuff.

Bick
I'm 68 and a retired blacksmith. If a fellow 'smith referred to working over the horn, beak, beck, pike or bick, I'd immediately know what they meant.
However it's more than possible that a hobbyist who's new to the trade/craft and just bought their first anvil, might not and the term horn is more descriptive but is as commonly used as bick or beck.
But thanks for you contribution.

2 hours in the jar, with the PSU working away very happy.
Straight from the jar.
Wizz with a wire brush, all is good.
What will I do with this un-known pin?
A good question.

The time to worry is when one stops & gets out their car.

£7 for the coffee to get a free pourover filter because I left my other one at home. Also got a code to give a friend £5 off their first order so I could get a third one.
It's very nice coffee too.
(Ps. Just how cool is that Cactus mug?
