I've been looking for an anvil for a long time and this one definitely will meet my needs knowing it's Cast steel means it's heavy duty and it is incredibly well made not one bad thing to say about it, can't wait to start using it. I know a lot of people say it's small but it's really not it's just right if you're not a blacksmith and even if you are it has its purpose but extremely well made. I wish it was made in USA. Today finding an anvil is like finding a needle in a haystack and I've been looking too long, and I've had a use for one but didn't have one, now I do.
