Reclaimed high-carbon rasp steel makes up the blade, carrying the original tooth pattern from the horseshoeing file it once was. That texture isn't just visual — it gives the steel a non-slip grip along the spine, useful when your hands are wet or working through tough material.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blade itself follows a sheepsfoot profile, with a flat cutting edge and a blunt, rounded tip. This shape has long been favored around livestock, since the rounded tip lowers the risk of accidental injury if an animal moves unexpectedly. A notched choil sits where the blade meets the handle, a small detail that signals the hand-forged process behind every piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jwsteelcrafts.com\/collections\/western-ranch-knives?srsltid=AfmBOoqLzrdwhqyBoFiwWuAulFQ4ujl2i0BSk_TpCOPNdQstHTVKPPI5\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarrier Rasp Cowboy Knife\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e at JW Steel Crafts with a multicolor laminated wood handle, sheepsfoot blade profile, and notched choil detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe History Behind This Blade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarrier rasp steel comes from old horseshoeing files, prized by smiths for its toughness once reforged.

The flat, sheepsfoot profile suits controlled, precise cutting tasks around livestock. Full tang construction keeps the blade balanced and steady during use. The original rasp texture along the spine adds grip without affecting the cutting edge. As high-carbon steel, the blade develops a natural patina and benefits from regular oiling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulticolor laminated wood covers the handle in bands of orange, black, and red. A single brass pin secures the handle to the full tang blade for added hold. This construction holds up well under the daily wear that ranch work brings. The laminated finish resists moisture better than untreated wood over time. Full tang construction keeps the knife balanced from blade tip to handle butt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Used For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis knife handles ranch chores around livestock, where the blunt tip adds a margin of safety.
