[TheForge] Neat Folding Fariers tool on Ebay

[Dan Scheid]

To each his own.  I know here in 
Texas I run across examples of an old Spanish  hoof trimming tool that 
scare me, the Buteris I think it is called.  Basically looks like a 
short crutch with a blade on the end of it that I guess you put your 
shoulder into to trim a hoof.    I have enough trouble with a pair of 
nippers and a docile gelding, can't imagine trying to use one of those.

The Japanese farrier use a very ... did I Say very? Sharp knife to trim. No
nippers, no rasp. Would not want to slip or have a horse pull a leg. They
also still turn their shoes.  Kind of amazing to watch.
