Any blacksmiths out there making knives, etc. I have about a half dozen of old farrier rasp that are dull. Good steel in them, but not worth sharpening.

Someone can have them if you pay the shipping.
PM me if interested

You should anneal a couple ( oven, weed burner, etc) and then cut/grind hay-string knives out of them.

I got too many things to do now as it is. I welded a triangle knife form a sickle bar onto my pitch fork between two tines and that cuts the hay strings pretty good.

I have bought a few good Nickelson rasp over the years, but was at an auction and they had dozen rasp that had a little rust on them, other than that they were new, still in a the wrapper. I bought them all for $6.

I'll never use them all up so I have one in my truck, in my horse trailer, in the tack room, next to the stalls.. Heck I use them more to make gun stocks than to rasp hoofs
