Hand Sharpening a Hoof Knife

Sharpening a hoof knife by hand. This skill can be mastered by anyone that wants to take the time to learn it. The first part is a complete sharpening of a blade that is in bad shape, and the second part is general maintenance in the field.

The effort is appreciated as is the information.

It would be very helpful if you could make a PDF list of the tools and their brand that you use in order. Just a suggestion and forgive me if you have already done that and I didn’t see it!!! TY for this VERY helpful video!!!!

Where would one find the buffing compound? I am in Canada and see it in powder form for polishing rocks, but not like the chunk you have there.
