Product Description

The Save Edge Beast Horse Hoof Rasp is a wide hoof rasp and offers 35% more cutting surface than the standard Save Edge Original Farrier Rasp, which has for long been one of the most popular horse rasps used by hoofcare professionals.

With one side coarse for cutting through the hoof and the other finer to provide a clean finish, the Save Edge Beast is an excellent all-purpose hoof rasp for the larger horse. It is available in 17 inch length.

Save Edge also manufacture the Finishing Touch rasp, which has specially designed teeth to produce a show quality finish on one side and the standard finishing side on the other, and the Photo Finish Rasp, which has the same coarse side as the Original and the finer Finishing Touch finishing side on the other. The Beast Save Edge rasp is another option.

All Save Edge rasps are made by Save Edge in the USA.

TIPS ON USE

Always use a handle when using a rasp or file. Gently force the handle over the tang as far as it goes. Then tap it with a mallet until it is securely fastened.
Apply pressure on the file only on the forward stroke, raise it on the return stroke. Failure to raise the file on return stroke will result in broken teeth.

When starting with a brand new file, use only light pressure to “break the file in”. If possible, use the file on softer materials at first. Both of these tricks will give your file a longer life.

Do not file too fast, you might affect the hardness of the files.
A file tooth is a razor sharp cutting edge, therefore a file should never touch another file. Do not stack files without protective wrapper.
