Customer Reviews for VEVOR Cast Iron Anvil, 100 Lbs(45kg)Single Horn Anvil with 10.4 x 5 in Countertop and Stable Base, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, for Bending, Shaping, Twisting

Mir ist die kleine Schlagfäche am Schraubstock zu klein. Der Amboss passt gut auf meine Werkbank und hat genau die Fläche die ich brauche. Die Positionierung über einem Bein der Werkbank sollte selbstverständlich sein und ist bei meiner kein Problem. Wenn das nicht möglich unbedingt den Bereich unter dem Amboss gegen den Boden abstützen, nichts schlimmer als ein federnder Amboss. Würde ich wieder kaufen gehe aber davon aus, dass ich den an meine Kinder vererbe.

Sehr praktisch für diverse Arbeiten.

Nach dem Auspacken gleich probiert, es gibt einen hellen Klang beim Schlag mit dem Hammer auf die Ambossbahn. Also dürfte sie wirklich gehärtet sein. Die Kanten halten bisher auch sehr gut, das wird sich aber sicherlich erst mit der Zeit und längerem Gebrauch zeigen. Er hat eine schöne breite Arbeitsfläche, die für kleine bis mittlere Vorhaben wirklich ausreichend ist. Trotzdem er nur 30 kg hat und sich somit leicht transportieren lässt, fehlen weder rund- noch Flachhorn und obwohl er nicht auf dem Holzblock angeschraubt ist, steht er stabil ohne zu wackeln. Für mich zum Messerschmieden ideal.

Excellent little anvil for the money. Hardy hole needed a bit of tidying up as the casting there was a little rough, but it only took a few minutes.

Great anvil and works perfect for blacksmithing

I love these anvils I_e been using these for a little over a year. I_ recommend these anvils for anyone at a beginner level all the way up to a professional craftsman. Check out my Instagram account runeblades1994

I received this item and have recently been able to set it up in my shop. You can see in the picture, that I had not peeled the protective paper off the top of the anvil face. I will start by saying I am happy with the anvil. After peeling off the paper, it does have a scratch on the face of the anvil at one corner, but so far it has not caused me any issues. I have used the anvil to make one knife so far and it held up well. I am a beginner knifemaker, but so far, I am enjoying using it and am happy with the purchase.

I have seen worse and better quality anvils.1- There was some flashing I had to cut off on the underside of the horn, no surprise, I had planed to clean off the epoxy coating and slightly reshape the horn anyway. No big deal.2-Upon cutting and flap disking the chunk off I realized the color of the sparks determined it is cast with high carbon steel, using the spark test method.2-Be careful of the epoxy coating, as I'm sure it is very toxic, wear a respirator if grinding.3-There was some fine cast pitting on the horn mainly surface, I'm sure the coatings purpose is to cover these flaws. no big deal. see pic.4-The face is flawless and the hardy hole is square and center.5-the dimensions shown in the manufactures description pictures are way off, see pic.6-as for the hardness of the face, time will tell, if used correctly it should be O.K.not too bad overall for beginners utilizing for small projects, you get what you pay for. Made in China....of course.conclusion: WE NEED TO BRING BACK ALL MANUFACTURING TO NORTH AMERICA,

This item came much faster than we anticipated! It was a gift for our son who makes knives and he is very happy with it>

We tarted make knife from railroad spike which is tough for the surface of the anvil and this one can take that whitout problem. Just tiny marks on surface. Received earlier than expected. Thank you!
