	The top '''Face''' is made of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardened_steel hardened steel], so that it can withstand repeated hammer blows, and has rounded edges to avoid the workpiece being cut into. The pointed end of an anvil is known as the '''Beak''' ''(or '''Bick''')'' and it is on this that ‘eyes’ are formed for example. Between the '''Face''' and the '''Beak''' is a small surface known as the '''Step'''. This is not hardened and is used for cutting on to avoid blunting the forge tools.
