use and care of the farrier hoof knife, success means when it comes to cutting the horse's hoofs. hoof knife in the models are right and left hands when the knife in hand, you prefer to use to keep up with the hook at the end of the knife base upwards, shows the sharp blade to the body. When I started my horses, I was not sure what worked was the one that, so I took one of each and that worked fine, I finally foundbetter and in fact I needed a hoof knife right handed.
Over the years I have used dozens of hoof knife, almost every brand out there, and found that the least expensive knife work as well as the more expensive deluxe hoof. Do not be stainless steel, seem difficult to attract a good cross.
It 's very important to buy your hoof knife, hoof knives I with special stones, sand and special steels for industrial diamonds embedded,I ended up with a plain old bench grinder, and flat files. I use a chainsaw file on the little hook at the end of the blade sharpening, you do not get the little hooks are sharp or accidentally dug too deep with the end. I used to grind the blade once a week, and keep it sharp with a file on a daily basis. I was all day, then cut, so I needed to do so. Most of you, if it is only a horse, just cut every 6 to 8 weeks after you leave the hoof knifein the barn, will start to rust, just take a file to sharpen the edge again.
I use a hoof knife, tapering to the foot bar in the pillars, cut the bottom dead and a flat spot near the foot of my pliers to rest after a nice even cut, I never cut with my pliers, but I hoof knife to cut away my life to the fullest died down alone, you can see life alone, because it no longer fluffy, elastic has the flexibility, the chip from the sole. Use yourHoof to determine the cut-line for your guns, your horse will avoid cutting too short. I trim the beast, just enough to allow the mud to go to the back of the hoof.
