Customer Reviews for VEVOR Single Horn Anvil 132Lbs Cast Steel Anvil Blacksmith for Sale Forge Steel Tools with Round and Square Hole and Equipment Anvil Rugged Blacksmith Jewelers Durable and Robust Metal Working Tool

First, the downside. This anvil arrived with a horrible, sticky/tacky baby blue attempt at powdercoating on a pebble-textured finish that covered every part of the anvil except the face. Even the horn - which needs to be smooth - had this pebbled finish and sticky "powdercoat" which came off readily any time it wasa touched. On the horn, there were a few small voids under this crappy finish. My only other complaints are that the hardy hole is not exactly square - I have to round the corners on any hardy tools I want to use, and the Pritchell hole is poorly placed.The upside - a few hours of careful work with an angle grinder and flap disc had the anvil cleaned up nicely - and as mentioned before, the face was nice and smooth from the start. I used the grinder to smooth the sides and the horn (including some minor reshaping and getting rid of multiple tiny voids), then sprayed Loctite rust inhibitor on the non-work surfaces of the anvil, leaving the newly polished horn and the face bare steel. After a bit of custom paint and mounting it to a stand made of 4x4s with steel brackets and 6" lag bolts, it was good to go. It has needed no further work, and has given me over a year of solid, reliable performance.One last thing - before I mounted it to its stand, the anvil had a piercing, loud ring when struck. Bolting it down securely has cut the ring to a huge degree, and it's no longer an issue.

The reviews did not lie. Great for the money! Cut yourself a tall stump for this short Anvil and get to it! Might buy another for when my friends come over to forge.

I didn't like the blue paint so I took the finish off with sanding disks on my grinder and rounded the corners. It was actually more shiny than this before I put a coat of Danish oil on it. Definitely cast steel from top to bottom. Face is hardened with a lot of rebound. The only thing that would make this Anvil better is if it was painted black or gray instead of the aqua blue.

Well, mine came today, and as you can see the box had a hard travel. Mine came in blue, which I will be removing especially because it's chipped on the feet. You don't always realize how heavy 66 lbs of steel in that size REALLY is. Once my back heals up I'll update on how well it works for me. Also, mine came with this little rock hammer. It didn't fair so great in transit. Dunno what it's supposed to be for, but hey, free hammer!

A solid little unit, and good for small work.Well made and reasonably well finished.

Diffinatly a good starter anvil, the face is hardened 54 hrc or so and it seems to be cast steel not cast iron which was defiantly a plus, it sings like an angel and has great rebound. Not a big fan on where the pritchel hole is, but it will do the job. It also did not come in blue it was black which I liked better anyway.

Awesome product! ! I was at first concerned about this anvil because of the low price typically you get what you pay for. Not this time the anvil is large enough to forge swords and plenty enough weight and room to do just about any job a $500-$2000 anvil can do. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. And I received it in 6 days much earlier than the posted date. Yes it rings like a bell with only a tap.

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 did a ton of research and this anvil gave the best bang for your buck. Mind you, this is not the cast iron model so be sure to select the correct one. Delivered on time without even a dent in the packaging. As for quality, perfect size for the amateur, good rebound and a nice ping to it. Included a blade about 6"x2" (without tang) for size reference. Definitely worth the $$ and no regrets on this purchase. Might add some magnets or chain to deaden the noise for the neighbors sanity. Hope this helps.
