Pretty good. Casting defects and soft around the hardy hole
It seems like the best priced hardened steel anvil, but the area around the hardy hole is softened so you gotta be careful with it as it dents easily. The rest of the anvil face is pretty good though.
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.
