Expert Grooming with Stripping Knives

Stripping knives are essential tools for grooming wire-haired dog breeds. These tools help remove dead hair from the coat, maintaining its texture and promoting healthy hair growth. Our range of stripping knives for dogs is designed to provide professional results, whether you’re a seasoned groomer or a pet owner looking to keep your dog’s coat in top condition.

Why Use Stripping Knives? Stripping knives are specifically designed for breeds with wiry coats, such as Terriers and Schnauzers. Regular stripping helps maintain the coat’s texture and prevents it from becoming soft and fluffy. This is particularly important for show dogs, as the correct coat texture is a significant aspect of breed standards.

    Used for delicate areas and finishing touches. They remove finer hair and are ideal for achieving a smooth finish.
  2. Medium Stripping Knives:

    Suitable for most stripping tasks, including body and leg hair. They balance between removing dead hair and maintaining coat texture.
  3. Coarse Stripping Knives:

    Designed for removing thicker and longer hair. These knives are effective for the initial stripping process, especially in dense coat areas.

How to Use a Stripping Knife:

  1. Preparation:

    Ensure your dog is clean and dry. Stripping is easier and more effective on a clean coat.
  2. Select the Right Knife:

    Choose a stripping knife based on the area you are working on and the hair type.
  3. Stripping Technique:

    Hold the stripping knife comfortably in your hand and gently pull it through the coat in the direction of hair growth. Use a gentle but firm motion to remove dead hair without cutting the live hair.
  4. Work in Sections:

    Divide the coat into manageable sections and work methodically. This ensures even stripping and prevents over-stripping in any area.
  5. Finish with

    Fine Knife:

    Use a fine stripping knife for finishing touches and delicate areas, such as the face and ears.
