Es pequeño pero me está funcionando bien para la forja de cuchillos. Buen rebote. La pega es que no tiene ningún sistema de anclaje para el tocón y has de ingeniare algo para que no baile.

As a beginner blacksmith, This anvil has been perfect. A decent weight, with a useful hardy hole and pritchett hole. Top Quality.

This anvil once again met and exceeded my expectations. Has a beautiful ring to it when struck the ball bearing test exceeded my expectations all around an amazing product.

I acquired a new 165 lb (75 Kg) Peddinghaus anvil a while back, which is a "premium" new anvil. What many might not understand (or want to admit) is that an anvil like a new Peddinghaus isn't something you want kids or adult beginners to beat on. And everyone always wants to beat on the anvil, which is why I bought this one for them to start with instead.If you haven't beat on an anvil before, this Vevor 66 lb seems to be perfect in every way. The price is excellent. "Unskilled" dents and dings to it won't hurt anyone's (my) feelings. The weight is convenient to deal with -- heavy, but not too heavy. It has a great standard shape with the right holes in the right spots. The base doesn't look funny. Actually, the base is about the same shape as the Peddinghaus anvils, as I was able to fit this in the old routed-out home-made Peddinghaus stand I have with a very minor adjustment. I cannot find anything to complain about with this anvil for this price. Unless there is some hidden flaw I haven't encountered yet, it is a perfect new anvil for the price. I do not think there is a better option in this price range, unless you can find a used one, which is difficult.As far as performance, I haven't had enough time to beat on it to say for sure, but in comparison to the Peddinghaus, a 1" steel ball bearing does not bounce quite as vigorously on this Vevor, which shall shock no one. However, honestly, it does bounce pretty good. It does not "ring" nearly as loudly as the Peddinghaus. Again, no shock, but at least the Vevor rings a little -- it is not dead. It is not a bad anvil, it just isn't "premium", and there is nothing wrong with that, depending on the mission. It is less than a tenth of the price of a new 165 lb Peddinghaus, so expectations should scale appropriately, and if your mission is to have a solid anvil to beat on and get stuff done, without spending a lot of money on a precious object, then this is that anvil. Again, for the price, it seems to be perfect so far.Comparing the finish of the new Peddinghaus to this bargain Vevor is interesting. The Vevor actually has a better finish out of the box, especially the horn. They appear to be similarly machined horns with facets after casting. The Peddinghaus horn was completely painted over and the facets were not ground down anywhere. It took a bit of work to get it in shape. On the other hand, the Vevor horn at least has the top facets smoothed down somewhat out of the box, and is mostly ready to use. You would think that for the price, the Peddinghaus was ready to rock, but that is not how new anvils are shipped, apparently, premium or not. The Peddinghaus also had factory machine marks on the flat top work surface just like the Vevor does, along with sharp edges. Both are the same there, and need to be rounded over a bit. So anyone who wants to complain about the factory finish of this Vevor anvil has no idea what they are talking about -- the finish of the Vevor is at least as good if not better than premium new anvils. Notably, my Vevor anvil had no visible casting or machining defects. And finally, like many other reviewers here, mine was shipped like garbage falling out of the box, but at least it survived the trip in perfect shape. After all, it is just an anvil.

Although the delivery company does have issues with something this heavy because it is relatively poorly packed, it arrived without damage to anything other than the packaging. It may not be top quality, but the price was right when I got it. My bench vice just didn't have the hammering surface that I needed, so this is a huge improvement. It does require an appropriate low stand that is sturdy enough to handle the weight and the pounding, but that shouldn't be a difficult issue for anyone ordering this anvil.

Great beginner anvil, I just started using mine and love it so far! Mine did have some casting defects but nothing that's hurt the use of the anvil.

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.

It’s a nice little anvil and it’s priced right. It’s cast steel and has good rebound. What’s not to love.

I have made close to 150 knives from leaf springs and have absolutely used and abused it and it has not shown any wear. Only thing I have a complaint about was the horn was not smooth but some elbow grease and Emory cloth worked perfect

This is a very nice anvil for less than 2 bucks a pound. 66 pounds isn't too big and it isn't too small. It's the perfect size for me. I'm mainly going to use this for flattening out nails and rods (which I have only done so far), but I'd like to get into blacksmithing at some point. Since I'm learning how to weld right now, I don't need a new hobby. I built a stand out of wood with rubber padding at bottom, silicone, and chained it down. It has made the ring deaden and sounds really quiet for an anvil, though it is obviously louder at both ends. The edges come sharp, so you will need to grind the edges down and make them round. My only gripe (like others have shown) is the pritchel hole is defected, but since I only will use it ocassionally with a holdfast, I'm not too worried about it. I love it.

After looking for a decent priced anvil for over a year I ran across this one from Vevor. I would really like an old anvil, but the prices on those have become astronomical for even the ones that are cracked and have rounded edges. After reading several reviews and talking to some local blacksmiths I pulled the trigger on this one. I am not disappointed. It is well made, cast steel, with crisp edges and a great finish. Rebound is exceptional. Do I wish it was American made? Sure do. In the meantime I'll take out my frustrations by beating the crap out of this anvil in my little shop. If it fails or has issues, I'll update my review. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy this, I'd go with it until something better comes along. I wish it was a little bigger also, but the 66 pound model is working very well for me.
