The Mustad Toeing Knife 280 mm features a polished, high-alloy forged steel blade, built to cut horn effectively and maintain a sharp edge with proper care. According to Mustad, its toeing knives are made in several blade lengths (280 mm among them), all with durable blades and a comfortable grip construction. The ergonomic plastic handle helps reduce shock, vibration and hand fatigue, making it suitable for repeated trimming during hoof care or shoe-preparation sessions.
