Are these still sold???

My long term cutter has broke.

Does anyone know if these can still be brought as they are not in any tack shop around here.

Take a length of baling twine, slip it under the twine on the bale(one at a time!) and pull it to and fro like a saw. It will cut through the bale twine in a couple of seconds.

Loads here - And cheaper than with an equine tag I'm sure

Or do what one girl was found doing at my old yard - breaking the twine with a cigarette lighter

Can you use them to cut plastic bags (wood pellets/horsehage) as well? Might help my complete neurosis about losing the knife I keep on the yard.

Nicicb - when i was at livey i sewed my knife on a very long bit of elastic to a metal dustbin lid, was vey funny watching people borrow it! to be fair i looked like a idiot walking round to my stable with a dustbin lid evey time i wanted to open a bale of shavings but i never lost that knife!! now i have my own field and stables every thing tends to stay were i left it x

That's my standard way! I only bought the yard knife to take an order over the limit for free delivery, thought it might make life easier...

When I go out of the door I have two things in my pocket beside my wallet, that is my latch key and a pocket knife.

But I suppose it is a prison sentence if found with the second item these days??

I learnt that in 1978 (at my BHS training yard) thank you anyway, but I want the knives
