The Butteris - a Farrier's Tool
2022
Overview
Horse anti ox hooves are made of keratin, the same protein that forms human hair and fingernails. Since the early '¿Oth century, the butteris has been replaced by the hoof knife to clean the sole by removing cracked and loose material followed by use of the hoof nipper/cutter to remove excess wall material, mostly at the toe. Some manufactured butterises, such as those made by the Goodall-Pratt Company of Greenfield Massachusetts in 1922, were all metal and included removable blades, adjustable-length shanks and T-shaped shanks that provided the hand hold (Figs. 2 and 3).
