Hello, Try searching  Compound Leverage Hoof Nippers, replaceable blades. I believe these are still being made. Regards , Lou

Thanks Lou, that seems to be them. The only difference I see is the cutting angle. Theirs appear to be straight where mine are angled. Don't know if that makes a difference or the cutters were made for a different application.

Hello, I did notice that yours were angled, and the newer ones are straight, no comment on either, way out of my league!!!!
