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.

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!

Works great could be harder the hardie hole is not cut very clean and I got one with a bunch of filler. The horn is a really weird shape but for the price can’t beat it

Just finish up the edges and put it on a secure pedistal, in the right hight. Bought a stone cracker and forged it to fit the hardy hole. Should have gotten a bigger anvil but I'll place a concrete block on the bottom and secure it with bolts soon to keep it from bouncing around.

This 22# anvil was mailed without any padding in a cardboard box (see photos) that fell apart in transit, and the anvil was scratched in many places. The rust has started taking over where the paint was scratched off.

Ottima incudine come da descrizione. Imballaggio a posto. Niente ruggine. Peso confermato. Spedizione lenta.

The overall design is pretty good, i do like the wide face and the hardy hole looks good, but what is with the rusty bottom, isn't that supposed to be painted as well? And i find a hammer made some small dents, not to bad, just happy to have an anvil

I have seen worse and better quality anvils.1- There was some flashing I had to cut off on the underside of the horn, no surprise, I had planed to clean off the epoxy coating and slightly reshape the horn anyway. No big deal.2-Upon cutting and flap disking the chunk off I realized the color of the sparks determined it is cast with high carbon steel, using the spark test method.2-Be careful of the epoxy coating, as I'm sure it is very toxic, wear a respirator if grinding.3-There was some fine cast pitting on the horn mainly surface, I'm sure the coatings purpose is to cover these flaws. no big deal. see pic.4-The face is flawless and the hardy hole is square and center.5-the dimensions shown in the manufactures description pictures are way off, see pic.6-as for the hardness of the face, time will tell, if used correctly it should be O.K.not too bad overall for beginners utilizing for small projects, you get what you pay for. Made in China....of course.conclusion: WE NEED TO BRING BACK ALL MANUFACTURING TO NORTH AMERICA,
