Dick Hoof Rasp, Kerbl

The Dick Professional Hoof Rasp, supplied by Kerbl, is a high-performance hand tool designed for precise shaping and leveling of hooves and claws. It simplifies the demanding task of working with hard hoof horn by combining an aggressive rasp and a precision finishing file in one durable tool.

Application

The rasp is ideal for professional farriers and livestock hoof care specialists working with horses and cattle. It is designed for:

• Leveling the hoof sole after trimming with a hoof knife.
• Removing excess hoof wall material.
• Smoothing hoof edges to help prevent cracks and splits.

How It Works

The double-sided design provides two levels of cutting performance. One side features deep, aggressive rasp teeth for rapid removal of large amounts of hoof horn, while the opposite side has a coarse file surface for smoothing and creating the final hoof shape. The flat, blunt-ended design improves control, stability, and operator safety during use.

Benefits in Practice

• High material removal rate: The deep rasp teeth efficiently remove even very hard and dry hoof horn with minimal physical effort.
• Excellent ergonomics and control: The durable plastic handle provides a secure grip, even when working in damp stable conditions.
• Improved safety: The blunt end reduces the risk of accidentally injuring the animal or the operator when working close to soft tissues.
• Dick quality and durability: Manufactured from premium-quality steel, the rasp maintains its cutting performance significantly longer than standard alternatives, making it a cost-effective choice for professional hoof care.
