Choosing Sustainability

Developed at Schroeckenfux, the same factory that makes our blades, by one of their top technicians, this anvil will satisfy both the beginner and the experienced scythe user who wants to try free hand peening. The exposed anvil is about 4" tall with an equally long spike embedded in your peening bench. It has a height adjustable platform to help support the blade so the edge rests on the anvil at the desired angle. The radius of the anvil face is wide and provides plenty of surface under the blade's edge. It is much easier to keep the blade on this wide radius than on the radius of our traditional narrow anvil. There is also an integral guide that keeps the blade’s edge properly positioned on the anvil radius.

The blade is laid upside down on the anvil. The user lightly hammers on the back side of the blade to draw out and shape the edge.

This is an extremely well made tool of high quality, hardened steel. You will appreciate the subtle hammer rebound and response as you peen.

As your experience grows you may find that the platform and guide are no longer needed. If so, both can be easily removed. Without the platform you will find that square support bar handy for resting your hand as you guide the blade across the anvil.
