Customer Reviews for VEVOR Single Horn Anvil, 22Lbs Cast Steel Anvil, High Hardness Rugged Round Horn Anvil Blacksmith, Large Countertop and Stable Base, with Round and Square Hole, Metalsmith Tool for Bending and Shaping

Bought this for my bf, he wants to get into making some knives. He has not used it yet but it does seem to be a good value for the price. He seems super happy with it.

I like the overall quality. The deck is hard enough to gravity drop a 3/8 ball bearing and bounce back up almost to where I dropped it from. This is hardened steel. The horn seems to not quite be as hard but after grinding the paint and whatever is applied...it looks great. The square hole is closer to 1 1/4 inch rather than the 0ne inch many tools are made to. Overall....and for the money....its a very good buy. Sand and lightly grind the surface and it will be beautiful AND smooth for quality work.

Very good quality

This anvil is a great starter or portable anvil has been holding up very well. Has good rebound and flat top. Took about one hour with grinder to shape up the horn. That came unfinished.

Actually for a cast steel anvil, it's a pretty good value for the money. Be aware, mine didn't look quite like the photo. The casting is pretty rough with lots of pits and apparently some voids. The largest are apparently hidden with bondo-type material, and all that is hidden under that hideous blue paint. However, it is an anvil and surface imperfections in the body will not hurt a thing assuming there is a nice flat surface. Which there is. The horn was a bit rough. I removed most all of the blue paint with a wire brush on an angle grinder. Then used a grinder and rounded the sharp edges, and smoothed out the rough spots on the horn, then put a sand/flap wheel and smoothed out the horn even more. Taped off the work surfaces and spray painted flat black on the body and covered the residual blue paint. I don't plan on anything heavy duty, the 66 pounder will do for me. NOTE; It may be worthwhile to check out Vevor's website, who is the outfit that imports this anvil I believe. Overall a good value for the money. People seem to think domestic antique anvils are priceless so this is a good alternative at a fraction of the cost.

I’m pleased with this anvil, solid, good face. It was delivered very quickly. The only issue I have was that there was a bunch of Bondo on the underside and the horn had cast marks on it. I highly recommend this anvil.

First Impressions, clang for the buck? Can not beat the price per pound. Arched base moves weight up into the striking face=more working area than traditional anvis with solid base. Brand new, never struck "not"collectable which is good....now you can keep a fresh edge and not cry about taking your 7in grinder to the other edge and get that tapered bevel you wish was on your classic avail but don't want to grind a 140year old beauty. Not so great features, pritchle hole is on the horn butted up against the face.....not good 1 it's way to big a hole, 2 it's right we're the step should be.... Which by the way is missing completely and a huge problem "I'd recommend not chisel cuting on the horn as that big hole is there and I'd be worried to lose the horn completely" just use something else for striking hard tools in not this anvil. Only other glaring thing I don't care for is how short and wide the horn is,. Will have to see how it performs in the future. Otherwise you can't lose for the price and free shipping if you need a good size anvil and are in a bugget....... don't hesitate just get one, easy decision.

I was about to give only three stars because you are almost forcing me to write this review by sending email reminders without any opt out option and asking for more than 100 characters. Stop doing this, you're going to end up with bad reviews. Great Anvil though.

I've been using this anvil for alittle over a month and it seems to be a great anvil for a low cost. It has great rebound and has been able to do what I need it to do. It has a few small flaws but for the price you can deal with it.

This anvil exceeded my expectations. I am not a blacksmith and I am not using this for blacksmithing. I am a home shop machinist and this fits the bill for an anvil I can throw on the bench when I need it but remains under the bench when not in use. Machining and finish are nice and the anvil has plenty of mass. Highly recommended.
