Crooked Knife

Step 3Hoof Knife Modifications

Hoof Knife Modifications
The quickest way to make a crooked knife is to modify a hoof knife from a farm supply store.
Here's one I made in about half an hour.

Some pet shops carry them with the horse equipment.
The hoof knife tip is for cleaning a horse's hoof. The tip fits into the contours around the "frog", which is the living part of the underside of the hoof. For carving wood you don't need that much of a bent tip.

A Finnish friend gave me this sharpening stone in a leather sheath with Sami glyphs on it. It works perfectly as a sheath for the crooked knife with the blade next to the stone.
