Product Information
Full details
The Neilsen Single Horn Anvil is designed for amateur blacksmiths, metalworkers, and hobbyists who require a compact yet sturdy surface for forging, bending, and shaping metal. This 20kg tool provides the essential mass needed for precision hammering and project work, though its size means it is not suitable for heavy-duty industrial blacksmithing where larger, multi-hundred-kilogram anvils are standard.

FAQs
What is the primary use of the horn?
The horn is used for bending, curving, and shaping metal into round or scroll designs.
Can I use this for heavy blacksmithing?
This 20kg anvil is best suited for light to medium hobby projects and is not intended for heavy-duty industrial work.
What should I mount this on?
Mount it on a solid, heavy wooden stump or a sturdy steel stand that is anchored to the floor.
How do I clean the surface?
Use a wire brush for debris and wipe clean with a rag. Keep the face oiled to prevent corrosion.
Is the finish supposed to cover the face?
The powder coat is typically for the body; the striking face may be polished or left bare depending on usage requirements.
Troubleshooting
Anvil moves or vibrates during use
Ensure the anvil is securely fastened to a heavy, stable base using mounting holes or chains.
Face shows signs of rust
Use a wire brush to remove oxidation and apply a thin layer of machine oil or protective lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, secure the anvil to a heavy, flat-topped wooden stump using spikes, chains, or purpose-built clips. Place the anvil at a height where your knuckles touch the face when standing upright with your arms relaxed. To maintain the tool, wipe the face clean after each session and occasionally apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, especially in humid environments. Avoid heating the face directly with a torch, as this can ruin the metal's heat treatment.
