Cut from solid 136 railroad track and cleaned up the right way, this is a no-nonsense bench anvil with real mass where it matters.
 
Radiused striking surface face and rolled edges
This 18-inch (1.5-foot) piece of 136-pound rail weighs approximately 68 pounds. This heavy-duty, 7.31-inch high rail is standard for high-speed and freight mainlines.

The head is ground smooth for clean strikes, while the body retains a raw industrial texture that tells the story of the material. You’re getting hardened steel that was built to take abuse long before it became a tool again.
 
This isn’t a cast import pretending to be an anvil. It’s dense, stable, and hits like it should.
 
Ideal for:
• Knife making
• Small forging work
• Riveting and peening
• Shop use or display
 
The radius face gives you a consistent working surface, while the profile allows access to edges and tighter work. Compact enough for a bench, heavy enough to actually function.
 
Built by hand. No shortcuts.
