I have been making blades for over four years, and wanted a second anvil. I saw the attractive price and decided to try it out. The description says it's cast steel (never purchase a cast iron anvil. Iron is to soft) and it had a 52 hardness. I built a three legged base with 1/4" 2"x2" tubing for the legs and 1/2" plate steel for the base for the anvil to sit on. I filled the legs with sand, tapped the legs with a hammer to get as much sand to compact. This adds weight that you want to keep it from jumping around when using. I dropped a 1" steel ball bearing on the anvil after attaching it to the base from 2' above. The "rebound" of the bearing was 14". When striking some HOT out of the forge 1095 carbon steel with a 3# cross pein hammer, the sound of the strikes were dull and low. (that's what you want) The farther toward the rear of the anvil you strike, it doesn't have the same sound or recoil as the center of the anvil. I also question the hardness of the face. I did manage to put a small dent in the face. I will test the hardness later to see what I get. Overall, it's a great buy at the price! It doesn't come close to my 300#TFS anvil, but it also didn't cost $2,800.00. I would recommend this VEVOR anvil to anyone getting into blacksmithing/bladesmithing, or just needing something to pound on.

Excellent value. Not a “perfect “ anvil, but fully functional and all working surfaces flawless. Pritchel hole is too large and in a bad position. I machined an adapter that works pretty well. Rebound is better than my old anvil but not as good as some. However rebound is related to hardness and too hard would make it prone to chipping. I’m happy with it.

I bought this anvil for two reasons. 1) It has an HRc hardness of ~55, instead of only ~50 which is what the blue ones are. 2) Because the picture shows the horn and round hole being flush with the flat surface of the top of the anvil. This second reason turned out not to be the case. There is about a 1/ to 3/8 inch step there. I have since learned that the step is useful for some things but it does mean the round hole is not the same height all the way round, which makes it less useful for using it as a Pritchard hole. I plan to weld some fender washers onto the end of a pipe that will fit in that hole, and then grind one side flat to fit in the hole and solve this problem. The anvil itself is quite good, and for the price is down right amazing. Edges are sharp, so you can break the corners with a file to set the corner radiuses at the size you want. The anvil rings a bit, but I think with a magnet under the horn and a chain around the base this tones it down nicely. (other anvils also ring and can be quieted the same way)

Should give me alot of years of service,thanks vevor for giving good products at great prices with exceptional customer service.

The horn could be more smooth. I will have to grind it. One of the holes should have been square, but both holes are round. Apart from these things, I am satisfied.

Je suis contente de l'enclume, mais je l'ai reçue avec l'emballage déchiré. Il aurait fallu un emballage plus solide, car il était un peu léger par rapport au poids de l'enclume.

Bonne enclume, achetée pour débuter dans la forge. Arrivée rapidement avec suivi du paquet. Je voulais pas trop lourd pour ne pas me casser le dos, je suis servi. J'ai dû passer un coup de lime dans les trous pour retirer quelques bavures, rien de bien grave. Je recommande ce produit.

Very good for the price. Overall very useful. The horn is a lightly rough casting and required some smoothing for finer work as does the hole , but overall the weight and design are fine for an occasional use bench anvil.

Very good for the money. This anvil needed some “finishing off”, the casting lines on the horn, the general shape of the horn & all around the edges, I removed the coating & brought it into shape with a sanding flap disc on a grinder, then finished off with some large files. I wanted the coating off all of the main surfaces & all the edges & right angles. This was an easy job & left me with an anvil that is perfect for my own personal use. Now I just need to find or make a stand.
