The rasp is 12" instead of 14", which makes it lighter and more maneuverable. I have small hands, too, so this rasp makes installing a mustang roll quicker and easier than when I used the standard size.<br /><br /><br /><br />Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-55767611741168734392013-05-03T09:39:14.593-07:002013-05-03T09:39:14.593-07:00LOL!

I've strayed once and only once :-). The guy at the shop said there was no reason for me to switch. I didn't know save edge had so many different types of rasps!!!!!!! I was drooling over the loop knives. I've been naughty and using it for all sorts of things and now going to see if I can salvage it with my new sharpener. If I can't there's one I have my eye on.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-34963980257243382062013-05-03T07:39:03.017-07:002013-05-03T07:39:03.017-07:00Good choice on the SaveEdge rasp...that's my f...Good choice on the SaveEdge rasp...that's my favorite. And a good reminder that I too need to replace my tools...#@$% desert hooves eat up a rasp like none other...<br /><br />Some good advice I got was, "If trimming seems harder than usual, it's probably time for a new rasp."Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720090581233703530noreply@blogger.com
