Really nice anvil, but where you would put attachments for the anvil the square and circle hole were not completely carved out so I will have to take a tool and carve those out.

For the money I am satisfied with this anvil . Prichel hole could be on top of the anvil . Took a lot of cleaning from the casting . For the smithing I will be doing the anvil is satisfactory. I have and will recommend this to others that are starting the craft on a budget

Bonne petite enclume. Je n'ai pas encore pu évaluer la table, car certains disent qu'elle marque, mais elle est parfaitement plane et les angles biens droits. Hormis la table, la surface est très granuleuse mais ce ne devrait pas être un problème. A noter que lors de la commande initiale, l'une a été retournée par le transporteur pour cause de "colis abîmé". Le support Vevor a été d'une aide précieuse, et la seconde reçue quelques temps après était parfaite. Concernant l'emballage il s'agit d'un simple carton, donc forcément, pour une enclume c'est pas top... Peut être l'expédier dans un cadre de callage en pin grossier (à 2 francs 6 sous) comme armature au cartonnage d'expédition permettrait d'éviter ces désagréments de transports en évitant de traumatiser le transporteur avec un cartonage basique incapable de supporter les dixaines de kilos d'une enclume lors des manutentions indispensables... (forcément : Le carton n'est pas prévu pour) Ceci dit, très satisfait au global.

Envoi très rapide comme d'habitude avec Vevor. En fait cette enclume pèse entre 17 et 18 kg et la dureté annoncée de 50 HRc est loin d'y être. Un essai à la lime suffit pour s'en rendre compte. Le bleu est loin du beau bleu des photos. Mais à ce prix là pas de quoi se plaindre, car l'enclume est néanmoins très solide. Je l'ai utilisée pendant une heure et aucune trace de coups visible. Conclusion : bon matériel.

This anvil is decent for the money, it has fairly good rebound too. The only thing I don't like about it is the location of the pritchel hole. It's on the horn and below the surface of the face. But if you're looking to get into blacksmithing, you can't go wrong.

The anvil feels fairly lively! I couldn’t wait to finish a stand for it, so I worked off the shop floor with this little guy and it still produced good rebound and feels very sturdy. I wish there was a Pritchel hole, but I can just make a bolster plate for the Hardy I suppose. My anvil has a little oblonging on two of the sides of the Hardy and the horn is fairly thick at the point. This did make forming a circle around the horn a bit of a challenge, but this isn’t a dealbreaker for me. If you’re interested in starting to smith or just need a little farm/shop anvil I would highly recommend this anvil to you. If you’re a longtime smith and need an easily transported anvil, no doubt about it. If you’re looking for the magical and mythical qualities of an antique anvil, maybe not.

Great little anvil! Perfect size for someone who has little space and/or traveling. Light enough to carry and solid enough for decent forging

Good start for anyone. Heat and oil it if you have the means and keep it in a shed, garage, or barn, or out of the elements somehow to prevent rust.

It's a nice anvil for beginner blacksmiths. Sturdy enough to sustain continuous 1.5kg hammer blows without showing signs of wear. The paint gradually comes off with usage, but that's just a cosmetic aspect (and, if I dah to be honest, the bright blue paint is plain ugly). Rebound is good enough for 300g-800g hammers. However, when it comes to heavier blows like 1.5kg hammers, it doesn't help as much. The anvil is a bit noisy, especially if you hit the horns. A quick fix for the noise is to stick a strong magnet to the end of the horns to reduce high-pitch vibrations. I would highly suggest you place this anvil on a heavy base that can hold it still, since it tends to wander around when hit with a heavy hammer. Also, I'm currently working on some upgrades like welding a wider base to the anvil legs to increase both weight and stability.

great anvil for the price so far! haven't had it long yet but am definitely not disappointed, has a good feel to it when hammering and seam to be of good quality so far!
