Farrier's Rasp

[Eric Garza]

not sure where you are located, Fleet Farm is where i get mine. It is Nicholson and it is double sided with both ends rounded (no tang) which i like better.

This is the same Nicholson I have, and I love the rounded edges too. Great for clamping a stave in a pair of portable vises and using two hands for control and leverage. I've used a few other farrier's rasps, and I've given or traded all the rest away and have only kept my Nicholson's.

Ive tried em all and the Save edge is the best made.I use em every day.

I've never used a farriers rasp I always use my surform rasp or what ever it's called it gets the job done but I do want to try a ferriers rasp

my dad is a professional farrier he says he's tried them all but nothing compares to a belotta, I have forged knives out of lot's of rasps and I can tell you too that the belottas make way better knives then Nicholson or save edge.

For forgework,you may be right,but for farrier work and for hoggin wood off,the Save edge gets the nod from me after the 32 yrs i have been useing a rasp,in the Farrier field.

A farrier supply store will sell new rasps in all sorts of price ranges and you might be able to get a used one as well.  Generally a rasp that is dull enough for a farrier is sharp enough for someone who doesn't know what they're doing!  My farrier gives his rasps away when he's done with them and they start out life very expensive and end life as sharp enough that we can't do any damage.
