The rasp handle is a metal sleeve over a wooden insert. The rasp without the handle is 3/8 inch thick. a real monster.
Can i post picks of old farrier tools? I have some from 5 generations back. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
Hi Zach, I don't think this thread would be a good place to post them, but I think a new thread just for pictures and discussion of old tools would be great! I might would call it "antique tools" instead of "old tools" for fear of what Chris and Smitty might post. Regards
I'm not 100% sure but pic 2 and 4 ...those Sweden made tools are saw tooth tools...for cross cut sawsa and precision tooth work ...
Rick, Travis hit most of it correct. I think he only missed the nippers with the replaceable cutting blades and the jointed handles to maximize leverage. Bud nippers approximate this design today using al.handles to lighten them up Sandvik is a world renowned saw producer and has acquired a number of carbide companies in pursuit of providing carbide cutting tools,in the process they acquired some carbide pin manufacturers,pins as in what we use as inserts for studs etc.. The heller hammer looks to be about a 14 oz. a very popular size, and Heller was very popular throughout the farrier world, if you follow Chris Buntings album, he displays another style of Heller. I have a new 6 pack of Black Diamonds in the burn,I ll take a pic and post it on a thread that I hope Zach will follow,or lead with pics of some of his families heirlooms. Those Black Diamonds were great,they did not break no matter how much I lost my temper, but contrary to what some will say, they or non of the other rasps of that vintage were as sharp or long lasting as the good rasps of today,in my opinion. I hope others will chime in, Rick, thanks for taking the time to post these. Ray
Unless anyone wants to dispute/refute Ray's answer before midnight tonight, Ray is the winner. Thanks for the info Ray. I'm looking forward to seeing some history in Zachs thread. I have a few more I can post. Regards
I would like to see a picture of #17 looking down at the "cutting" surface. Is that a blade that strikes the opposing side at a 90* angle or does one side pass "through" the other in order to cut?
A moment,please..If I understand good,you don't know what's that tool? I have one of them and I have used it.
