Sad news.

We are very sad to announce that Holland Anvil, Holland Alloys, and Holland Pattern will all be closing permanently.

Costs surrounding the steel industry have been rising for a long time, and we have always done what we could to keep up. We are making this decision now and by choice so we can properly take care of our vendors, customers, and employees.

We will be taking care of all of our past and future orders on our website, but our last heat has been poured, and our current inventory is final.

Thank you all who have supported us over the years, and we hope that your Holland Anvil tools will last for many generations to come.

**“Two years ago it was the chain. Last year it was S-hooks. This year—it’s nails! Forge a nail and stamp your touch mark in the head. Bring yours to the Christmas party in December, and we’ll mount them on a board to be auctioned off.
⚒️ A couple of guidelines: keep it under 3 inches long, and don’t go crazy—just make the head big enough for your touch mark. No giant nails, please!”**
