Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 88 Lbs(40kg) Single Horn Anvil with Large Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping

Better than cast iron. Not as good as a high end Anvil, but that is not what you are paying for. I would have no problem recommending this Anvil for other hobbyists.

Got this guy an a clearance sale. Wasn't exactly what I expected but I knew going into it that I would have to do a little work to it. The anvil is great but the horn needed some work before I could use it. I expected to grind off the paint on the horn and make it smooth but as I was grinding it revealed some minor casting issues(surface cracks). I ended up just grinding a little more than I expected. It cleaned up completely. I also expected the horn to be more round, less egg shaped. I did what I could to round it out better and in the end it worked out because I was cleaning the surface cracks out anyway. This is a good anvil that will just need a little finishing work to make it a great anvil. Expected to grind the horn clean. That being said don't let that stop you from this deal.

It's an anvil... as described and like any anvil needs to be dressed. Does an amazing job. The horn is a bit thick but a grinder or just the mindset to work around that is all you need.

This product arrived packaged well and in good condition. The quality of the anvil seems to be good.

Arrived quick!! Everything was in order - needed to polish off some burrs on horn - great lil anvil!! Looking forward to this new blacksmithing adventure

Really solid quality best bang for your buck for sure. Bern putting to hard use for weeks

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.
