The old way of pulling shoes vs. now

I remember back in 2008 when I first started out, I'd spend 20 minutes trying to pull a stuck shoe with just a hammer and a pry bar, bending half of them in the process. Now I keep a pair of Knipex 8-inch pliers in my apron for stubborn nails, and I can pull a full set in under 5 minutes with no damage. Does anyone else still keep an old school hoof knife around just for nostalgia even though you barely use it?

Still keep mine in the bottom of the box for old times' sake.

I feel that, the old hoof knife just sits in my toolbox now too.

Seriously though, it's like a paperweight now! WHAT a waste of money that was.
