Double Horn Steel Anvil Block, Metal Forming Tool for Jewellery Making, Mini Bench Work
For bench jewellers and metalworkers shaping rings or planishing small components, this double horn anvil provides three distinct work surfaces. It delivers a stable, hardened steel block for detailed forming and stamping, without requiring the space of a full-size bench anvil.
Key features
- Features one round, conical horn for shaping curves and rings, and one flat horn for forming sharp bends.
- A flat, smooth top face provides a solid surface for planishing, stamping, and riveting work.
- Machined from hardened steel to withstand repeated hammer blows during forming and texturing.
- Includes a pritchel hole on the main face for punching and riveting tasks.
- The wide, solid base ensures stability on the bench whilst working.
- Its compact footprint makes it suitable for benches where workspace is at a premium.

How this compares
| Double Horn Steel Anvil... | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Hardened steel, machined for precision | Cast iron or unhardened steel, prone to denting |
