Years ago growing up on the farm I remember seeing in one of the farm magazines a knife that I have never actually seen or heard about since.

It was called a castrating knife and if I remember correctly it looked like a Barlow with a hook in addition to a clip and spey blade.

Any ideas???
 
The only castrating tools I've ever seen our veterinarians use is whats she refers to as the Newberry knife.. Which frankly, is not a knife at all, but looks more like a sharp pair of pliers.. I have to say it works pretty quick and with very little blood loss for the calves. :thumbup:

I'd like to see what you are talking about if anyone has one?..

Look under Veterinary knives, in Levine's Guide To Knives.

Sorta makes you suck it up just looking......

I know several that make them out in the pan handle of Texas that look like a straight razor with a handle. The cowboys use the heck out of them.
