I purchased this Bot Knife because the one I had was years old and very dull. There's no real way to sharpen a bot knife, so purchasing a new one just made sense. The new knife worked so much better at getting those stubborn bot eggs of of my horse.

Great tool for scraping off the pesky Bot fly eggs! Works very well, I must say:) Now if only we could invent something to prevent the Bot fly from laying them.....

32 years with horses and I never owned one of these-I've always picked off the bot eggs by hand. My horses flinch when I'm using this on their bodies and constantly move their legs when I'm using it there. It'd make a great shedding tool as a lot of hair comes off as I'm scraping this several times in the same area trying to get one bot egg! Am I holding it wrong or what?

I have always just used a common razor to get the few eggs off that i find but this year we have had so many eggs so I bought a knife. This knife works very well and is so easy to use. Inexpensive too so not sure why I waited so long to get one.

We rarely deal with bots in any number here-- until this fall. Most of the tack and feed stores carry cheap plastic bot knives, which inevitably get dropped and broken. This one is actually quite lovely. It's the ideal shape and size, has a real wood handle and sharp teeth that make removing the bot eggs quick and easy.

If your horse is in an area that has bot flies, this tool is an essential! The little eggs are hard to remove, but this knife makes the task much easier. Other riders at my barn that don't have their own are always asking to borrow mine. Even though the bot flies really only bother my horse in Sept. to early Oct. it is well worth the inexpensive investment!
