With a dimension of 30 x 24 x 15 inches and 125 pounds, this item is relatively easy to transport. As a medium-sized farrier block, this one can take stronger hits than the previously mentioned NC Big Faced Farrier Anvil. The USA based JHM brand manufactures, keeping both Farrier and Blacksmith in mind. Overall, this Model 12 Forged Anvil is an ideal choice for massive workloads for professional blacksmiths. This weight is advantageous if there is a heavy work load for a prolonged period. Weighing a solid 275 pounds, this is the heaviest item in our list so far. This is useful for heavy blacksmithing projects. The good thing about both of them is that they are located on the anvil’s main body rather than on the sides. It has the perfect small size of 5/8 of an inch. And the pritchel hole is near the triangular horn for punching. This can be used for housing various cutting tools. Ridgid 69642 has a 1-inch hardy hole near the base of the rounded horn. Besides, the anvil’s rigidity allows it to take heavy blows as the solid base transfers the energy to the ground. Its top face has an optimum surface area since it has been grounded, and induction hardened. As for angular bends, the triangular horn works perfectly. The length is long enough to bend longer metals too. If you need to bend any metal, the rounded horn is the option to take. One of the horns is rounded, and the other is triangular shaped. The two horns come in multiple applications. In addition to the small size, its 68 pounds weight also comes in handy if you need to rearrange your workshop or move around the smithy to a different location. You can use the heel end of the anvil for scrolling works and the large hole for drifting things that are too big for a pritchel hole. But for light works or horseshoe making, this isn’t a big deal at all since the main striking area is very tough to take a beating. One important thing to note is that its hardy hole is located in the horn instead of the heel, which could be a big deal for blacksmithing. Since its plastic steel has a Rockwell hardness of 48, it can handle light works quite comfortably. Milled with a ¼-inch punch slot, the Big Face has a smooth surface with a single horn, a 1-inch hardy hole, and a pritchel hole for cutting and punching. You can never reach the extreme level of detail with a big sized anvil either. What makes a farrier different is its allocation of mass, unlike that of a blacksmithing anvil because most of its mass is concentrated in the heel and the horn rather than the base.īesides, the small anvil size makes it the perfect tool for applications that require detail.
