Next up is an anvil that is simply beautiful. There is nothing more satisfying than holding a one of a kind tool, created by a devoted craftsman (you)! With this anvil as a base, an aspiring smith will be able to lovingly hand-craft all the tools needed for future projects. ![]() Although I still recommend a steel anvil for serious blacksmithing work, this is a good starter anvil for hobbyists who are taking their first steps as a craftsman. Unlike the smaller model, this mid-ranged anvil does contain the traditional step between the face and the horn of the anvil. Like the smaller model analyzed earlier, this anvil contains a hardie hole but lacks a pritchel hole. This is a cast iron model that comes with a pleasant blue coat. If you are looking for a more traditional sized anvil, this is a reasonably priced mid-tier anvil that weighs in at 55lb. All-in-all, this is a wonderful anvil that is great for leather-working and fine jewelry making. If you are looking for an anvil that can handle knife making, I recommend a larger anvil with a steel face. This is an excellent anvil for softer metals (such as brass), and fine-jewelry making. I should note that this anvil does not have the traditional step between the face and the horn. It has a smooth face that extends out into an elegant horn. This cheap anvil does contain a hardie hole, but it lacks a pritchel hole. Don’t let the weight fool you, this tiny anvil could easily fit into your calloused metal-working hands. If you are simply looking for the lowest price tag possible, then this is it! This little beauty is 9 pounds of solid cast iron.
