Hand-Wrought Blacksmith Farrier’s Butteris Hoof Tool with Adjustable Depth Stop
Add an unusual piece of traditional blacksmithing and farrier history to your collection with this hand-wrought farrier’s butteris, also known as a buttress. Historically, butteris tools were used by farriers for paring and trimming a horse’s hoof, serving a function similar to later hoof knives.
This substantial example measures approximately 17 inches long and features an especially interesting depth-stop mechanism, adding mechanical character and collector appeal to the piece.
The hand-wrought metal construction and aged surface retain the authentic appearance expected from a working farrier’s tool. Its distinctive form makes it an excellent addition to collections of antique blacksmith tools, horse-shoeing equipment, farrier tools, equestrian artifacts, and early hand-forged implements.
