Is this the right tool for your job?

✕DO NOT FORCE THE FIT

Not a pottery tool — the name collision runs the wrong way on the wheel: wheel-trimming wants wire-loop turning tools (not sold on this store), and clay cutting wants the 40310; an inside-sharpened steel ring does neither.
Not a hook knife: it cannot pull a cut through sheet flooring, veneer, or carpet — severing through material is the 67090's open-hook physics, and the closed ring simply won't enter the work that way.
Not a whittler or carver — no point, no straight edge, no steered cut; the sloyds own that bench.
Not a struck tool (the 40210 stands alone there), not a jacket-slitting knife (the 90600's scoring skill needs an open tip and a straight edge), and not a flat-line flash slicer: cured flash on flat, accessible parting lines shaves flush faster under a square-point blade (60090-class, industrial-knives line) — the loop earns its seat on contoured parts and production repetition, and this store routes the flat-and-occasional job away from it honestly.

How the pros run it

The ring indexes the depth

trust it: seat the outside on the surface and the edge meets only what stands proud. Light seat, moving stroke: pressure into the part buys friction and fatigue, not cut. Both directions are yours: draw for control, scrape for stubborn webs — a closed edge has no forbidden direction the way pointed knives do. Keep the outside polished: scratches on the riding surface telegraph into the workpiece. Sharp is the ergonomic program: every hour of deflashing with a dull loop is paid for in wrist and elbow.

Asked at the counter

BUYER QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE THE CART, NOT AFTER THE RETURN

Is this the pottery loop tool on my studio list?

No — and this is the most important sentence on the page: pottery loop/ribbon tools are wire-edged wheel-trimming tools, which this store does not sell. For clay cutting and fettling, see the 40310 Potter's Knife. The 95460 is an industrial deflashing knife; the shared word is the entire resemblance.

What are the loop's actual dimensions?

Per Hyde IBS family literature: .515" loop diameter, 1.3" cutting edge, on a 6.5"/165 mm overall tool — the overall length is the listing's exact-model fact; the loop figures are family-level and flagged until Hyde IBS confirms them for this SKU.

Loop knife vs hook knife?

Closed ring, edge inside, shaves material off a surface you're keeping — that's this. Open hook, edge in the throat, pulls a cut through sheet you're severing — that's the 67090, different line, different physics.

Can I use it on hooves?

The pattern is the farrier's own, and the geometry argument is exactly the hoof argument — flagged honestly: the farrier application is family heritage, not an exact-model Hyde claim for the 95460 .

How do I sharpen a closed loop?

The documented family method: belt sander or bench grinder on the inside of the ring, light cool passes, deburr outside, strop . Heat discipline is the whole game — a blued edge is a lost temper.

Why isn't this knife in the Hyde catalog?

Because it comes from Hyde Industrial Blade Solutions — the factory-facing division — not the consumer book. That provenance is also why this page's spec grain is flagged the way it is: the gate in section 0 is the honest map of what's exact-model and what's family.
