Customer Reviews for VEVOR Single Horn Anvil, 10kg Cast Steel Anvil, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, Large Countertop and Stable Base, with Round and Square Hole, Metalsmith Tool for Bending and Shaping

Anvil in good order as described. Packaging was poor. Two small pieces of plywood in ends of cardboard box did nothing to secure anvil. It allowed anvil to roll around in box. Completely tore the box up. I'm surprised it even arrived.

Can't go wrong for this kind of price, it's steel at a steal. A huge improvement over the materials I had prior, a new standard for a budget anvil

Surprisingly good quality for a budget priced anvil. Hammer bounces back nicely with a reassuring ping, not a dull thud. I'm impressed.

Great Starter Anvil for those looking to start a forge & getting into Blacksmithing. Arrived quickly and safely. Happy & Satisfied with the Anvil purchased. Has been a great way to get my son interested in Blacksmithing.

Great little anvil, excellent value. Read all the reviews, looked up all the videos online, and was very happy when the anvil arrived, exactly as expected. After giving it a good dressing, I went right to work on it, and it was a joy to work with. Hammer springs right back. Lovely working surface. If I don't wear it to pieces, this will be an heirloom anvil. Sure, you can spend more for better, but if you are just scraping enough cash to get an anvil and this is just in your reach? Go for it. You'll have a working anvil that won't cause you problems. I'd honestly prefer this over a sketching second hand/"antique" anvil at this price point.

Ever wish you had a lump to shape metal on?. This is it, light enough to move. I mounted it on hardwood to protect the concrete floor. Hammer away.

It’s the best of the Chinese imports.

For the price cant beat it however there are some slight issues. The hardy hole has some left over steel from casting so its not fully square and the hardy hole is practically useless but its a good anvil and well worth the money.

I mean, it's a great big lump of steel, and a good one at that. My resident smith is pretty happy with it. Shipping warning: it came in a cardboard box with a layer of bubble wrap around it, which was woefully inadequate. The poor delivery person struggled mightily to get it to the door, then turfed it out unceremoniously onto the concrete, which yielded somewhat to the might of this item. I'm not sure how to fix that except maybe to put out some plywood and tip money when the delivery is expected. The anvil itself meets expectations.

Have you seen the price of old anvils lately? I’m not saying they are not worth $2k, but realistically how many novice blacksmiths / bladesmiths have that kind of money? I bought this anvil and mounted it to a massive 18” diameter piece of oak, using a tube of silicone spread out between the two surfaces to deaden the ring a bit. The hardy required some fileing in the corners and I dressed the working surface edges with flap disks in an angle grinder. This is a good anvil for the price, especially if you are forging 1/4” or 3/8” bar stock or similar diameter rods of mild steel.
