Aesculap single edge right hand fine hoof knife

Hoof knife by Aesculap

These German made hoof knives have long been recognised as one of the best in the world.  Aesculap are one of the leading suppliers of surgical instruments worldwide and produce many of the surgical instruments used in hospitals.

These hoof knives feature hand crafted blades manufactured in the highest grade knife steel.  The handles are strongly riveted to the blade and these knives will give many years of use. 

This model is the fine blade right hand single edge.  The fine blade is quite narrow, which makes it easier to use when you are working between the claws or trying to dig out a stone or nail - it won't make as big a hole as a standard width blade, so the animal will recover faster.  Professionals tend to favour fine blade knives due to this versatility.  

These hoof knives are used by many vets across Australia due to their durability and the way the knife stays sharp even after trimming many animals. 

We do not offer any low cost hoof knives as we believe you should have the right tool for the job.  A cheap knife is a waste of money as it won't stay sharp and that is the reason for having a knife.  These knives will give many, many years of service and prove inexpensive in the long run - in fact they are an investment in your animal health

Sharpen with the pen style diamond sharpener reversible 'SHARPENERPEN' - this has a fine taper end and can sharpen the loop end - unlike many other sharpeners.
