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

I know Rob out in Rhode Island went to knife school, bet he could use em.

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

They make some pretty good spurs too...

Won't make them from a rasp, cold.

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

V.,

you are a good guy! Thanks for putting this up. I have no need or use, but appreciate you putting it for those who can make use of it.
