I haven_ used this anvil as of yet, so I_l only comment on it's appearance in regards to my expectations. Overall, it_ pretty much what I was hoping to get. It_ a forged steel 66lb anvil, and after smashing a few cans on it and hammering some copper wire flat, it shows no deformation so it seems pretty stout. The casting seems solid, although this anvil is rough in spots, particularly around the edges. The horn is actually 2 pieces, welded to the rest of the anvil. This came as a bit of a surprise, and I hope it holds up. I_l need to take a grinder to the horn to smooth some spots out. That aside, I_ glad I could find a decent anvil at this price.

Great for small projects I've used it for making knives. I bought it as an anvil to get started with until I can get a bigger one. It's black not blue I'm not sure why they list it as blue but I like the black better.

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

The heat treatment isn't deep enough. Still a solid anvil for the price and size

Good anvil. It's steel not cast. But don't miss your material it scares pretty easy. Not as bad as cast iron though. Good for a budget blacksmith

Rated 4 out of 5 stars because I had a few small issues. That being said, this is a great beginners anvil. I_l now go into detail about my issues. For starters, this anvil is on the lighter side, but I knew that when I bought it. For the beginners out there, just know that for an every day use or for large projects, you_l want a 120lb+ anvil. When trying to mount it to my anvil base, I realized that the hardy/tool holes were too small to get a socket down for installation. The casting was a little poor and unfinished. I remedied this by simply building some mounting brackets out of mild steel flat bar and mounting from either side instead of from the ends and through the anvil feet. My final complaint is that I actually cracked the edge of the anvil with a glancing blow while trying to forge a knife to point. I remedied this by simply grinding the striking face edges into about a 1/4 bevel. Other than that, this is an absolutely fantastic beginners anvil, especially for the money. Great hardness and rebound. Quiets up nicely with a chain or strong magnet. Would purchase again.

If you're serious about black smithing... Get something like 200 pounds plus. If you need a hard surface to smash something on, this works.

I bought this for my son...he has pounded several knives out since...would recommend to everyone.

For the price it's really a nice little anvil. The face is not the hardest (a missed swing left a mark right away, my bad) but it functions well for the most part. The hardy hole needed some hand filing to get some burrs off and to square it up a bit. The pritchel hole works alright but it is in a strange spot. The horn works alright for basic shaping but I am likely going to have to take a grinder to it to remove the paint and smooth it out a bit. It isn't like I was expecting miracles with an anvil of this price, so I really can't complain. The big benefit is that the face is cast steel, not cast iron. It may not take direct hits well but it won't crack under pressure. Worth a look if you're just starting out.

Great, inexpensive starter anvil! I purchased this for my husband to use with his starter forge. Works as expected, no issues. Whomever packaged it put it, though, did so in the flimsiest piece of cardboard they could find though put together with a crap-ton of packing tape. It arrived with the untaped portion of the box shredded off and 1/4 of the anvil exposed and scuffed up. Didn't make a difference to my husband for what he was using it for, but I wasn't pleased about it since I was giving it to him as a gift. Just glad it didn't get stolen off the porch!
