Nicholson Farrier Rasp File, American Pattern, Rasp Cut, Rectangular, 14" Length

Good value easy to use!

Good basic rasp to have. Got this to help upkeep my horses hooves between trims and love it. Does its job and is very affordable. I'm very small and have draft horses, so needed something that would do a lot of the work for me without me having to put too much effort in. Previously, I had always used old rasps that my farrier didn't need anymore. Switching to this I found out what I have been missing out on. This rasps down their hooves with very minimal effort. The coarse side I found is a little more difficult to use that the other, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it eventually. Would definitely buy again, but I doubt I will have to for a long time. My only wish is that it came with a better handle.

Good large rasp, better with double handle at this size. Only needs light pressure even with hard tropical woods. A standard wood/ tang handle on one end and pad on other end would be a nice improvement.

Cut it in half, welded a simple handle on it. I work outdoors, in boots all year long. Calluses on my feet get thick, and hard. Take a hot bath, and use this tool, ( as modified to 6") after your feet are clean and soaked. Takes calluses off perfectly. Feet like a kid again. I got sick of messing around removing calluses the HARD way. Now, I remove them safely, as needed.

I really like Nicholson files.On one side of the rasp it is a Very Aggressive File.On the second side is an even More Aggressive Rasp.Along both edges are "Mill Mark" file features.I don't work on horses, so I can't review any Farrier application of this rasp.I do work on wood and other softer materials (i.e.: plastics, fiberglass, etc.).If you've never used one of these Rasp's on wood before, then I'll tell you these are great for: Quickly fitting wood pieces together. Removing ragged edges after saw cuts. Breaking or rounding edges of "Rough Lumber." Or with the edge file teeth, quickly and easily cutting grooves or notches.My last Ferrier's Rasp was stolen, so this is a replacement.This Nicholson Ferrier's Rasp is well made, SHARP, and easy to use because of the orange grip surfaces.I recommend this fully.

Great Sharon rasp, but broke first time I used it! I didn't even get one horse done before it snapped.

It's a big, coarse, beast of a rasp. I'm using it to rough shape a large wood carving, which seems to be a perfect use for this tool. The ends are covered with a shrink wrap soft plastic, which could be better, but you should be wearing gloves anyway.

I got this for my daughter who trims her 2 horses. She usually uses a red tang, but it was getting dull, so I ordered this one, since the red tang wasn't available at the time. She tried it and went back to using the dull red tang, which she said worked better than this new one.

👌🏼

I waited to write this review as I wanted to see how it compared to my other rasp that I bought and how it stood up to the test I was going to put it under. I love this rasp much better than my Heller Black Master Rasp for my miniature horse's ridiculously hard hooves. Not only are these hooves hard but this rasp is also taking a beating keeping down the fast growth as well that it's being used almost every day. So far it's staying sharp and standing up to the challenge! I definitely will be buying more of these.

It’s easy to handle. Good and sharp. Very pleased!

Nice, sharp rasp. My go-to for hoof trimming. Can't beat the price - this rasp is easily on par with rasps that are more than double the price.

It's a great rasp for the price. Has lasted longer than any other rasp I've had. Also really nice that it doesn't have a sharp point on the end for a handle (I don't line handles). This is my go to place for tasks now. Have bought two.
