Toeing Knife 360 mm by Mustad

The Toeing Knife 360 mm by Mustad is crafted to meet the demands of professional farriers requiring precision and control. Within their range of toeing knives, the 360 mm model is the longest and offers maximum reach for larger hooves or extended trimming work.  The knife features a durable blade that accepts sharpening and a plastic handle designed for a comfortable grip during sustained use. Its full length allows the farrier to efficiently remove excess hoof wall and prepare the hoof for further shaping or shoeing.

Usage

Target Species: Horses

Application: Used for trimming and planar removal of excess hoof wall, particularly in preparation for shoeing or corrective hoof work.

Method:

• Secure the horse and stabilise the hoof on the stand.

• Choose the 360 mm blade toeing knife for large hooves or when extended reach is beneficial.

• With a firm grip on the plastic handle, position the blade edge against the hoof wall at the desired trimming point.

• Use a controlled slicing motion down the wall to remove the excess material, moving steadily and safely.

• After trimming, finish the hoof with rasps or shaping tools as needed.

• Clean the knife, dry thoroughly, inspect the blade edge for nicks, and store in the farrier’s toolkit.

Frequency:

• Suitable for use at every trimming or shoeing session where excessive hoof wall removal is required.
