The Nordic Forge Viking 12" Half Round Semi-Polished Nipper is a precision tool specifically designed for detailed hoof trimming and specialized tasks like clip placement. It is part of the Viking line, which focuses on providing professional performance with cost-saving finishes.

Key Features:
Precision Design: Originally developed for cutting clip holes, the rounded head is ideal for reaching "tough-to-get-at" places in the hoof.
Semi-Polished Finish: The face of the nipper is fully polished for clean contact, while the handles are left unpolished (often lightly textured) to provide a more secure, solid grip.
Durable Construction: Forged from high-quality tool steel, precision-machined, and heat-treated for maximum wear resistance.
Common Uses: Beyond standard trimming, it is used for dorsal wall resections, removing excess bar or sole, and resecting abscesses or white line disease.
