Chris Gregory Hoof Knife with Rooster Tail
Why Choose a Chris Gregory Hoof Knife?
The Chris Gregory Hoof Knife is designed for farriers who want excellent edge control, precision and versatility when trimming and preparing the hoof.
Developed in 2011 through the combined knife-making experience of Chris Gregory and Morkniv/Frost, the knife pairs a carefully designed high-carbon steel blade with the distinctive Rooster Tail hoof pick built into the end of the handle.
The result is a practical hoof knife designed to give the skilled farrier excellent control when working the sole, while providing a second useful tool for cleaning the hoof and assisting during hot fitting.
High-Carbon Steel Blade
The blade is manufactured from low-stain, high-carbon steel, selected to provide a balance between edge retention and sharpenability.
It's hard enough to hold a working edge while remaining malleable enough to be sharpened to a razor edge in minutes.
The blade angle and slope are designed to help an experienced farrier produce a smooth, clean sole, reducing the scallops and lines that can occur with scoop or drop-blade hoof knives.
Centre-Mounted Blade for Control
Unlike an offset blade, the Chris Gregory Hoof Knife blade exits through the centre of the handle.
This design provides the farrier with greater power and precise control through the cut, particularly when undertaking detailed hoof preparation.
What Is the Rooster Tail?
The Rooster Tail is the integrated hoof pick located at the end of the knife handle.
Use it to clean dirt, stones and other debris from the hoof before using the knife. Removing this material first can help protect the knife's cutting edge from avoidable dulling or chipping.
The Rooster Tail is also a useful extra tool when hot fitting horseshoes, including assisting with positioning the shoe into the clip fit or working from the side.
It is deliberately made large enough to allow the farrier to modify it to suit their individual working preference.
