I just got a Nicholson 49 from my Grandpas tools. I haven't used it, but it is nice to have something that was his.

Dave (DVSHunter) turned me onto the local equinine tools/supplies vendor.  His rasp selection looks just like Bub's photo.  I mentally thank Dave every time I pick up my rasp.

If you know some one with horses ask if their farrier can get you one. They get the best quality. My Farrier gave me one that was almost new, but I we have been friend a long time. I bought my house from her.

Now make a wooden box for it so it stays sharp. Watch where you set it down. Don't throw it on to a pile of wrenches :D
