Given the pictured tool's shape, I'd love to see it used as a hoof knife, seriously. You ain't experienced excitement until you've done hoof work on rank horse. Only animal ever put me in the ER. Great to be laying on your back in a gravel road, 14 hand colt on top of you, car coming 50 mph. could be one thing, reground to be another. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted July 11, 2021 Members Report Posted July 11, 2021 I used to work at a riding stable, and have watched the blacksmiths shoe many, many horses. Every hoof knife I've seen has a plain blade, not a serrated one. It is used for whittling away the horse's hoof, not sawing it. And a serrated blade can't whittle. I've never seen a knife like that before, but I like what someone said about it being used to cut string. I sure could have used something like that for cutting tight string on hay bales when feeding the horses! Quote
