The Fretz MA-Series Large Mushroom Anvil Kit brings together four essential round mushroom stakes in a single set, giving metalsmiths and jewelers a complete progression of dome profiles for forming and forging non-ferrous metalwork. Each stake measures approximately 70mm in diameter and is crafted from 420 hardened stainless steel for durability through both light finishing work and heavy hammer use. The tapered tangs fit the Fretz H-101 Bench Holder (112.720) or the Fretz VH-101 Vise Holder (112.721), securing each stake firmly during use.

-
MA-1 (Flat): Functions as a flat jewelry anvil or a stake for forming hollow-ware bottoms; ideal for forging heavy stock wire or ingots
-
MA-2 (Low Dome): Low-domed surface ideal for forming large pendants and adding dimensional stability to small projects
-
MA-3 (Medium Dome): More pronounced dome for deeper curved surfaces; can also be hand-held by the tang and struck against sheet metal on a sandbag to cup the metal in a few blows
-
MA-4 (Half Round Dome): Half-round profile for dramatic curves on large surfaces; enables efficient raising of round or free-form shapes with a nylon or steel raising hammer
