Versatile and adaptable, the Equine Care hoof knife is ideal for horses, ponies, cattle, goats, and more, providing superior functionality compared to competitor tools that often limit effective use to fewer species. The razor-sharp tip allows precise cleaning of grooves and abscesses, promoting optimal hoof health and helping prevent lameness and infections.

Nice handle, pretty knife and the blade seems fine
My horse had terrible thrush. Instead of having the farrier out every week to remove the dead tissue until we get a handle on the issue, I bought this hoof knife and asked the farrier to show me what to do between the visits. So far so good, the handle is comfortable and the blade doesn’t feel like it’s too sharp (great for me since I’m hardly a professional) but it cuts through dead sole just fine with a little effort.

Sharp
This hoof knife has an attractive blue handle that is comfortable to hold. It is handy to have both a left handed and right handed knife, since you will need both to get a good angle on tight areas of your horses’ hooves. Out of the box it is nice and sharp. I’ve used it only a couple times so far, and the real test will be how well it will hold it’s edge! If it’s still working well for me after a few more trims I will most likely come back to get the left handed version as well!

Sharp, sturdy and comfortable
I’ve noticed that some of these hoof knives are misidentified as being ambidextrous when they definitely are not. The knife that I received was right-handed just as advertised but this same company has a left handed version that’s advertised as either left or right-handed. I’m left handed but I use my right hand with all draw knives. A hoof knife is a draw knife so before you purchase one, think about which hand you will be most comfortable with exerting a good amount of force towards you. You pull the sharp edge of the blade in towards you as you dig out debris and trim away hoof material (keratin).The blade on this knife is sharp and hardened enough that it should take and hold many sharpenings. The handle is solid and comfortable. With proper cleaning, honing and oiling, I expect this knife to last a good number of years under rough (for a knife) conditions.

Super sharp, excellent steel, and great grip – good control and comfort
Disclaimer: I got this for wood carving.I’ve watched quite a few videos of farriers carving hooves online, and wondered if this tool would be good for wood/spoon carving. I’ve had mixed results depending upon the wood and grain pattern, still much to test on this front.I can’t imagine that this would not be an effective tool for intended purpose. Not that it matters in terms of functionality, but first impression is that this is a work of art. Polished steel, smooth handle and great looking wood stain. The steel is fantastic – sharp, strong, and I was impress how even tip of the blade didn’t deflect when attempting to carve hard wood.The handle fits perfectly in my hand, and in a few ways I feel safer using it than some less expensive carving blades I own – it provides ample control over the blade, and it’s comfort level makes one able to use it for a good length of time.I compare this to some of the best wood carving tools on the market – super sharp, amazing steel quality, and a joy to use. 5 stars.
