Anvil

Metalworking tool

An anvil is a metalworking tool consisting of a large block of metal (usually forged or cast steel), with a flattened top surface, upon which another object is struck (or "worked"). Anvils are massive because having higher inertia allows them to more efficiently cause the energy of striking tools to be transferred to the work piece. In most cases an anvil is used as a forging tool.
