Farier's Rasp Chopper (repost)

[G L Drew]

Living in an area with a high population of horses means a lot of these used rasps are floating around. Some of the local knife makers here have a lot of fun creating different knives from them and this is my latest.

Forged from a used horse hoof rasp
Flat grind
Black canvas Micarta handle sanded to 50 grit for grip
Overall length including the twisted loop at the butt: 14 inches
Blade: 8 5/8 inches
Leather scabbard with a belt loop

$180 SOLD delivered to the US or Canada. My PayPal account and email is gldrewknives@gmail.com Please contact me for other payment methods or overseas shipping rates.

Eautiful, how did you harden the blade?

I heat treat and temper in a Paragon furnace. I used the same process that I use for 1095.

I was getting worried when I didn't see any posts from you for well over a week. I am glad to see that all is well, and you are still creating unique and useful blades!
