The Bassoli Ottavia Loop Knife is a premium Italian-made farrier tool that stands out for its integrated hoof pick built directly onto the loop blade. This design is highly favored by farriers for its ability to clean the hoof and trim the frog with a single tool, eliminating the need to switch equipment during a trim.

Key Features:
Dual-Function Loop Blade: Features a large loop made from high-quality Japanese steel or Italian tool steel, designed for trimming the frog and soles with precision in both directions.
Integrated Hoof Pick: A small "pitch" or pick is located at the top of the loop, specifically designed to help clean out debris and sulci with ease.
Handle Variations:
Ambidextrous Use: Like other loop knives, it can be used by both right-handed and left-handed farriers, effectively replacing the need for separate handed knives.
