These nippers are made from H13 steel and forged by hand at the anvil. No dies are used, they are only crafted by the skillful hands of MFC's smiths. 
 
 The reins and joints of our nippers are made from 410 stainless, a self hardening stainless steel which is springy and resilient and hard enough to not collapse when pressure is applied. 
 
 The MFC Hoof Nipper comes in the standard 12”, 14”, 15” and 16" sizes. The blade edge is hardened to Rockwell 65 hardness, the base of the blade to 60, and the handles to 50 (so they will not bend).
