Handmade Rasp Steel Cowboy Knife White Bone Handle Western Pancake Leather Sheath 5"

Rasp steel knives trace back to old ranch and farrier traditions. Farriers used rasp tools daily to shape and trim horse hooves. Once a rasp wore down, skilled smiths reforged it into a blade. This practice turned worn tools into lasting, functional knives.

Cowboys valued these blades for their toughness and rustic character. Each rasp carried its own texture from years of hard use. Smiths shaped these rasps into sturdy skinner-style knives for ranch work. This tradition keeps western blacksmithing history alive today.
