In the end, the process is like nothing else out there. It took 4 years of painstaking research to arrive where we are today, consulting with literally hundreds of engineers and foundrymen from across the country. In 2017, Dean Curfman, the owner of Big BLU, made it his next challenge to bring the production of this anvil stateside.īut several things had to happen to make this dream a reality. but we didn't let the story end there, because we never stop trying to improve. So without the proof and the resources to go to engineers at an American foundry and ask for all these things, it was a clear choice at the time to have our anvil made by a seasoned European foundry that had hundreds of years of history-making anvils like ours. After all, it may just be a block of steel, but it has got a lot going on: sharp corners that must withstand work hardening, cavities like the Hardie hole that must be precise and homogeneous, the overall structure must be dense, but not fully aligned. As you can imagine, American foundries cast with the best steel in the world, but the challenge is that they do not have the processes to cast, harden, and finish something as nuanced as an anvil. Just like how you can combine elements together to make something greater than the sum of its parts, we struck out to execute the same with this astounding tool.Īll that time ago, when we drafted the design and perfected the mold, we never imagined that we would be able to cast this anvil in the USA. An anvil is more than just a collection of shapes for forging, it's a work of art.
