Customer Reviews for Steel Anvil Blacksmith 44.1LBS (20KG) Forged Steel W/ Round And Square Hole

Excellent little anvil for the money. Hardy hole needed a bit of tidying up as the casting there was a little rough, but it only took a few minutes.

Great anvil and works perfect for blacksmithing

I received this item and have recently been able to set it up in my shop. You can see in the picture, that I had not peeled the protective paper off the top of the anvil face. I will start by saying I am happy with the anvil. After peeling off the paper, it does have a scratch on the face of the anvil at one corner, but so far it has not caused me any issues. I have used the anvil to make one knife so far and it held up well. I am a beginner knifemaker, but so far, I am enjoying using it and am happy with the purchase.

I have seen worse and better quality anvils.1- There was some flashing I had to cut off on the underside of the horn, no surprise, I had planed to clean off the epoxy coating and slightly reshape the horn anyway. No big deal.2-Upon cutting and flap disking the chunk off I realized the color of the sparks determined it is cast with high carbon steel, using the spark test method.2-Be careful of the epoxy coating, as I'm sure it is very toxic, wear a respirator if grinding.3-There was some fine cast pitting on the horn mainly surface, I'm sure the coatings purpose is to cover these flaws. no big deal. see pic.4-The face is flawless and the hardy hole is square and center.5-the dimensions shown in the manufactures description pictures are way off, see pic.6-as for the hardness of the face, time will tell, if used correctly it should be O.K.not too bad overall for beginners utilizing for small projects, you get what you pay for. Made in China....of course.conclusion: WE NEED TO BRING BACK ALL MANUFACTURING TO NORTH AMERICA,

This item came much faster than we anticipated! It was a gift for our son who makes knives and he is very happy with it>

We tarted make knife from railroad spike which is tough for the surface of the anvil and this one can take that whitout problem. Just tiny marks on surface. Received earlier than expected. Thank you!

Awesome anvil for the price. It has alot of surface area and fully functional hardy and prichtel holes. Portability is the best part of the anvil. Made of cast steel with good rebound.

Our son in law loved this anvil and shipping was free!
