Good for the price, few quirks.
By Jacob Robinson on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021
So I got one of these anvils not long after Old Hickory Forge posted his review video, mine came with some kind of clear coat on the face, (which I only noticed after trying the anvil the first time and the coating burned and stank) and the horn was painted, and still rough casting texture. I attacked the thing with a flap disc, got the coating off the face, dressed up the edges, The ring on the thing is fierce. Mounted down to my loose stump gets it tolerable, I think if I had a set stump it’d calm it down more. The pritchel hole is mostly worthless due to its location, but I did make some holdfasts that work in it. The hardy hole is a bit to close to the body of the anvil, so if you are punching through the hardy, your punch can hit the body/foot of the anvil and get stuck. Not world ending, but makes drifting a bit touchy. I just made a bolster plate that works like a saddle to more or less let you use the hardy as a pritchel, will see how helpful that is. Only real complaint is the location of the hardy/pritchel holes, and the horn on mine is kinda awkwardly fat, more like the toe of a boot instead of a cone. If I get fed up enough with the horn I may try and grind it down to a more useful shape. All said, for starting out and working on smaller projects it is a perfectly acceptable starter anvil. The double horn really does come in handy for dealing with small pieces, and the price is hard to beat.

You get what you pay for

This anvil is a decent starter for tinkering but don't expect it hold up like the traditional antiques. The face quite soft (denting with glances easily) and has very little rebound, probably 50/60% at best. It's very noisy, rings a lot but the pritchel and Hardy holes are unfinished so plan on getting a file in there to clean it up. The horn is very rough, an angle grinder and a couple flap discs will be required for cleanup. All in all it's a decent buy for the price but if you can afford it go find an old classic if you want quality.
