Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 55 Lbs(25kg) Single Horn Anvil with 8.6 x 4.1 inch Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping, Twisting

Great size, has a little more ring than is preferable, but overall works well for small projects and medium sized knives.

It wants me to rate 3 things... thickness, value for money, and sheerness. As far as thickness goes, DAMN BOI. Value for money? You bet your thicc ass. Sheerness, well, if I dropped it on my bare foot it'd probably sheer off my toes, so 10/10

It does rust out in the weather a little bit.

I bought this after seeing the prices of original anvils. This one is cast steel which is a step up from my cast iron one. The hardee hole is not 25 mm as advertised so not sure if I am going to open it up or leave it as is yet. The horn is a bit of larger diameter also but I can work with it. Overall good solid anvil and much cheaper alternative than and original forged one.

Perfect for my needs!Just starting blacksmithing and this is just what I needed to make knives and other miscellaneous items

My main point is I love it for the price. I got the 132 lb-er for $285 delivered, but it'd be great for $340. The finish isn't great. The horn required a lot of grinding and flap disc to get smooth. The face is much better (milled smooth) but still has a few pits. I'm a hobbiest & don't make knives so no worries. There's no step. The pritchel hole is in a weird spot and is huge 1-1/8". It's on the horn w about 1/16 cutting into the face. I'll drill another smaller on by the hardie hole. Hardie hole is pretty square and 1-1/8". Face seems a bit soft but I haven't actually tested it. Still, I love it. 2 final notes. 1) The box it comes in is only so it can stack & pallet lift. The anvil will arrive with the flimsy box busted and the anvil sticking out ... But who cares? 2) Get the biggest one you can afford unless you're using it for jewelry. Once it's out if the box and off the ground, carrying an anvil isn't much harder than carrying a person of the same weight. In short, you'll be able to move Vevor's bigger ones
