The Aesculap hoof knife, supplied via Kerbl, features a narrow cutting blade crafted from premium stainless special steel, hardened to approximately 52–54 HRC for durability and reliable edge retention. Its ergonomic hardwood handle is contoured for comfortable, fatigue-free use over prolonged sessions. The narrow single-edge design is ideal for detailed trimming around the frog, bars and sole of the horse’s hoof, providing excellent control and precision.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used by farriers or competent horse-care professionals to trim the hoof wall, clean out the frog, loosen dead sole horn and refine hoof shape, especially in performance or remedial scenarios.
Method:
Ensure the horse is safely secured (tied or in stocks) and the hoof is clean and stable.
Hold the knife in your dominant hand (right-hand version, VC300V) with a secure grip on the handle, using controlled strokes.

The blade should be checked for sharpness, nicks or bends before each use; replace or re‐sharpen if compromised.
