Four blades, because one pair of scissors cannot do four jobs.
A straight blade for clean lines. A curved blade for following the shape of a body rather than cutting flat across it. A fine thinning blade for taking weight out without leaving a step. A wide chunker for bulk.
The blades are polished steel, the handles gold-finished with a small finger rest, and the pivot screw adjusts so you can set the tension where you like it.
This is a set for someone doing real work between groomer visits, not for a once-a-year tidy.
Before you buyScissors near a moving animal need a steady hand and a calm pet. Around the face, paws and sanitary areas, most people are better served by a groomer, and a nervous dog is not the place to learn. Start on the body, well away from skin.

Care
After each use
Wipe the blades dry. Hair and moisture left on steel is what dulls an edge.
Oiling
A drop at the pivot now and then keeps the action smooth and the tension honest.
Storing
Closed, and not loose in a drawer where the edges knock against other tools.
From the founder
The curved blade is the one people underestimate. It follows a shoulder or a haunch the way a straight blade never will.
