Flat hammer anvil | with spike | 500 g | Made in Europe

The anvil is one of the oldest basic tools, used as a support for making and sharpening metal tools and everyday objects. An anvil ensures that each blow from above delivers the same force to the workpiece from below. A peening anvil is a relatively small anvil with a square or narrow face. There is a spike on the underside, allowing the peening anvil to be driven into a wooden stump or directly into the ground.

• for hammering out and hardening misshapen, blunt scythes and sickles
• for use in horticulture, agriculture and forestry
• made of particularly hard, durable steel
• with a spike for working directly in the field
• Made in Europe

The peening anvil is cast entirely from exceptionally hard cast steel. With the spike on its underside, it can be used directly in the field when working with a scythe or sickle. When ‘peening’ on a flat anvil (flat face), the scythe blade is hammered out with a peening hammer, from the beard to the tip and back again. This draws out (thins) the blade and hardens its edge. It also sharpens the blade and significantly extends its working life. Working life is the period you can work continuously before signs of wear appear. This method of reshaping can also remove nicks up to about 5 millimetres deep from the cutting edge. The peening anvil is a reliable helper for many years.
