Can we talk about the difference a proper hoof knife sharpening makes

I was working on a draft horse with a really tough sole last week, and my usual pass with the knife was just skidding. I spent 20 minutes putting a proper edge on it with a fine stone, and the next cut went through like butter. How often do you guys stop to sharpen during a full day of trimming?

My buddy learned that lesson the hard way.

My cousin lost $500 that exact same way.
