Having spent nearly 20 years traveling to China for various technology projects, I knew where to get custom castings and machine work done at a fraction of the cost in Europe or America, and how to ensure quality. I designed the Rhino as my "dream anvil", and I'm happy to share it with the blacksmithing community for slightly more than it costs me to get it manufactured and shipped.
Rhino&trade anvils are made from Chrome/Manganese/molybdenum alloy steel, in a design tailored to suit American blacksmithing techniques. These anvils are oil-quenched for maximum depth of hardness. Face hardness and horn hardness is HRC 51-54.
The Rhino anvil has a machined, polished face. The horn is machined to a cone. The heel is narrow enough and thin enough for those tricky pieces that just don't fit anywhere on an anvil with a rectangular face. Although many European anvil designs have a conical horn like the Rhino, few (if any) have the Rhino's step which is extremely useful for forging pipes, folding small pieces, bracing round stock, and similar operations.
Standard hardie hole is 1 inch square. See our Anvil Stakes http://www.incandescent-iron.com/anvilstakes.html, designed to fit this hardie hole.
