Arrived in great shape. Zero complaints here from a master armourer of over 30 years experience. These are not the junk-iron anvils that were so prevalent from overseas. Get one, if only to stick it away for the future. I might even get another at this price, which I'm still in disbelief of. The only downside is the packaging, as they should reenforce it better, but it got here safely. Edit: Getting not just one more but two or three more. I wanted to add here that I have larger anvils, but if a 66lb. was all I ever had in my life, it would suffice for everything needed in this particular work. It's a nice balance. Any smaller would not do, however. I wanted to add this, for any aspiring armourers out there. You will also find that the mobility is great if you do demonstrations. Raise a breastplate from the inside on this, or whatever you need to do. Again, I have bigger and much much older (antiques) and far more expensive, but one cannot afford to pass up this price, if just to stick a few away.

Mine is apparently perfect. I’ve done some forging with it and the top is sufficiently hardened. Horn has a nice shape and the articulated rear horn is handy

3lb hammer for scale. This is a great little anvil for small projects. Zero blemishes from some pretty solid hammering so far!

This is a good small anvil. It's great for making small pieces. I've beat the tar out of it and no marks or dents. So far I have not broken or chipped it like the one it replaced.

Perfect for what o needed

Good solid anvil. Great addition to my leather shop.

Nice little anvil that feels great for beginners such as myself. Nice rebound which was a nice surprise. It does ring pretty good so I recommend some chain and or magnets. For the price I would certainly recommend

Bon rebond, bonne sonorité, elle est borgne, je l'utilise pour le martelage à froid des rivets Ne convient pas pour les rivets en acier non trempés (marquage de la table). La finition est perfectible, surtout au niveau de la bigorne et des arêtes.

This is the best cast steel anvil you can get right now for this price. Before this you were stuck with cast iron or a much smaller cast steel anvil unless you wanted to pay 3x as much. Vevor has decent quality control and for the budget blacksmith this 66lb'er cannot be beat. This is the second one I've bought, the first I use for blacksmithing classes where I teach kids 10 and up the basics. This one I'm keeping at my home forge so I don't have to transport the other back and forth. If you've gotten to the point where the Harbor Freight 55lb cast iron anvil isn't good enough (mine is in sad shape from the kids practicing, which is the best use for that one) or are just getting started and want to skip the \"anvil shaped object\" stage, this is definitely the one you want. In case you don't know, here's the difference: Cast steel is hard, it resists denting and reflects back a much greater percentage of the force of your hammer strikes into the other side of your work. It also leaves a much cleaner finish since the surface is smooth and dent resistant. Cast iron is soft, it dents like wood and every one of those dents will reflect on the other side of your work as you strike. It also absorbs much of the energy you put into your hammer strikes, which makes forging take more effort. Cast iron is ok for the very early stages where you're just trying to see if you enjoy the craft, but the moment you decide you want to continue smithing you will wish you had a steel anvil.

Very satisfied and husband had no idea.
