I read many reviews and watched many videos of this particular anvil.In my research I saw that cast iron and forged steel were the choices. I chose steel because it is hardened to resist dents and dings.Whoever manufactures this anvil sells it under different company names.I chose the Vevor brand sold by Happybuy because it is hardened steel and it was reasonably priced.At less than $2 a lb. during this time of hyper inflation I felt it wasn’t going to get any cheaper so I bought it.Well my Happybuy is a happy buy!It is everything that the promotional stuff says it is. It rings like a bell and the casting sounds good and solid. The promotional photos are highly airbrushed. Don’t let that discourage you.You’re most likely going to want to sand the edges of the flat work surface a little rounder and sand the paint off the horn to smooth the surface a bit before use.I chose the 66 lb. because it’s compact but large enough to do what I want.I recommend this anvil. Hopefully it’ll provide a lifetime of service.
