Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 88 Lbs(40kg) Single Horn Anvil with Large Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping

Good start for anyone. Heat and oil it if you have the means and keep it in a shed, garage, or barn, or out of the elements somehow to prevent rust.

Lots of mass under the hammer. Good rebound. The pritchel hole is a little bit awkward, fully in the milled surface would be more ideal, but it is a minor thing. Need to grind the paint off the horn, hot steel will burn off the paint, but you don’t need paint fumes in your work area or impurities in your workpiece.

Very happy with my purchase and have reccomended to others.High quality and well made. Exceded my expectations!

My box arrived very beaten and busted open. You could tell it had been dropped or thrown several times. That all being said it was a great proof of the anvils durability. There wasn't a dent or scratch on it. I honestly felt bad for the delivery people because it was a deceiving small package that was very heavy.

For the money you cannot beat it period. Good rebound and solid it’s not perfect but a great start to blacksmithing

Work

Used in the knife shop. Not as solid as I wanted but it works and the price is ok.

Good value

Works for making knives.

For the price, I do not think I can beat it.For the cons:To point out the obvious, the pritchel hole is oddly placed, it seems they did that for their convenience. But this is obvious in the picture so I can't hold it against them too much. The hole placement also made it easier to bolt down to my anvil stand.The hardy hole on mine was not exact in its size, but close enough.The pros:After grinding down the edges on this things, I have been using it basically every day, and it has held up well. No obvious chipping or marring.I have not owned an anvil previously, but I would buy this again.
