Anvils

The anvil is one of the most important tools in the forge. In the past, the large anvils consisted of several parts that were welded together in the fire. A steel plate was then welded on to create a high-quality and hardenable track. Finally, the surface was hardened.

Today, most anvils are made of alloyed cast steel, which is laboriously hardened in the surface area - this achieves a quality that is at least as good as that of the old anvils.

A wide variety of anvil shapes have developed in different regions, with certain shapes having advantages and disadvantages depending on the activity. For example, the heavy, slim anvils with the tapered horns are suitable for artistic forging of large objects. A knife maker, on the other hand, is more likely to work with a 50 or 80 kg anvil with a wide track.
