Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 25 Lbs(11kg) Single Horn Anvil with 6.8 x 3.5 inch Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping

I have a ranch and this anvil is the perfect size or general blacksmithing!

This is not the best anvil in the world. It doesn't pretend to be, and it doesn't come close.However, this anvil is by FAR the best combination of usability, size and value for money on the market. Bar none, no exceptions. It's a new steel anvil for 60-75% the price of *used* market, and it's half (or less) the price of any other new cast anvil.If you have any use at all for an anvil, buy one. Even if you later buy a better anvil, the value here is just so astonishing that you will be kicking yourself if you pass on it and they disappear.This anvil does require significant cleanup. The castings are rough, so the horn needs quite a bit of work with an angle grinder before it can be effectively used. Doesn't matter, at this price I'd still be happy if I had to weld the darn thing together.

Withstood entire day of hard forging on edge with no defects. Weighed 136lb on scale. Filed edge more rounded so work edge better. Nice ring but chain makes quiet. Another company had $30 cheaper, company refunded difference, amazing. Solid performing anvil, highly recommend for the price. Spark test showed high carbon steel. You like!

Great starter anvil

I ordered the 132lb. Version. Can't beat it for the money, good rebound, I like mine.

Good, cheap, cast steel anvil. Surface is sort of hard. The casting is crude but can be tuned up with a grinder. FYI my hardy hole is approximately 1 1/2” at the face and narrows crudely as you go down. I’ll work on cleaning that up someday

Good weight, good ring, good size. No cutting step and the "hardy hole", if you can call it that, is just plain weird. But it is an anvil...and for the beginner, is an excellent value. It is cast, not forged, so expect some patched defects. Nature.of the beast. Rebound is ok. Definitely not the hardest steel around though.

Sturdy and a great value.

Great way better than the 66lb seams to be getting higher quality as the weight goes up can't wait to try the 132lb buying that one next have them all then still cheaper than buying one old anvil even if they only last a few years buy new ones the price is great on these

Metal shaping, great product!
