Konstantin Avilov explains the different knives used by a reindeer herder

"These are knives with different blades. This one is a utility knife. You can use it to make holes, for example on the sled. And here are other very sharp knives. For instance, if a reindeer has hoof disease, you need one like this to carefully scrape the hooves."
