This Mustad Sharpener combines a diamond-dust coated metal bar shaped for effective edge grinding with a plastic handle and guard to prevent hand slippage, ensuring farrier safety and speed. The product page describes it as: “The Mustad Sharpener is an ellipse-shaped metal bar with a diamond dust coating, made for sharpening all types of hoof knives and toeing knives.” It’s intended for use only on dry, fat-free blades to maintain the coating’s effectiveness.
Target Species: Horses (indirect tool used by farriers working on horses)
Application: Sharpening hoof knives, toeing knives and similar farrier blades before and during trimming/shoeing work.
Method:
Ensure the blade to be sharpened is clean, dry and free from oil or grease (as these can clog the diamond dust coating).
Hold the sharpener by its plastic handle with the guard in place.
Move the blade edge along the diamond-coated metal bar with smooth, consistent strokes, applying light pressure until the desired edge is achieved.
After sharpening, wipe the knife blade to remove metal shavings, check the edge for smoothness and service readiness, and store the sharpener safely.
Frequency:
Use whenever the cutting edge of a hoof or toeing knife begins to dull or drag, or prior to each shoeing/trimming session if desired.
Monitor the sharpener itself for wear; replace it if the diamond coating becomes ineffective.
