| The Straight
Blade knife is designed like a conventional dropped blade hoof knife,
but has the added feature of the hoof pick on the back side. |
As you can
see from the picture, the Deep Belly knife has a generous curve to the
blade. With most convention hoof knives, the farrier is typically only
able to use the last 1" of the blade, and in doing so they have to lay
their wrist down in a less than optimal position. The Deep Belly knife
is designed so that the wrist can be held in a more upright, ergonomical
position. This also allow the elbow to be more alongside the body,
rather than tucked inward. |
