Rob Browne Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 That is a pretty fancy hoof knife. Never used/seen a double one before. How about posting your question about this in the knife forum. I reckon you will get LOTS of advice there that would be worth bottling. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
