Curved Chunkers and Thinners for Dog Grooming, 7 or 7.5 Inch

Groomers know the difference a good pair of curved thinners makes on a teddy bear face or a rounded topknot. These curved dog grooming shears come in two tooth styles and two sizes. A 35% V-tooth blends and softens lines, and a 75% fishbone chunker takes out bulk fast. Both have a 25 degree curve that follows the natural shape of the head, feet, and body. They're made from Japanese 440C steel hardened to 62 HRC, in a clean polished silver finish.

Two Blades, Two Sizes

Choose the tooth style that suits your work, then pick the length that fits your hand and the dogs you groom most.

Style	Size	Blade	Overall	Weight	Teeth	Thinning
V-tooth	7.0 in	3.3 in / 8.3 cm	7.6 in / 19.3 cm	2.5 oz / 69.9 g	54	35%
V-tooth	7.5 in	3.5 in / 9.0 cm	8.0 in / 20.2 cm	2.6 oz / 74.6 g	66	35%
Fishbone	7.0 in	3.3 in / 8.3 cm	7.6 in / 19.3 cm	2.5 oz / 69.9 g	24	75%
Fishbone	7.5 in	3.8 in / 9.7 cm	8.1 in / 20.6 cm	2.6 oz / 73 g	28	75%

Flat or Offset Handle

A flat handle keeps both finger rings level, which many groomers prefer for versatility. The up-and-down offset handle angles the rings slightly, keeping your wrist and elbow in a more natural position during long sessions. Both include a finger rest for extra control.

Break-In and Tension

The tension screw is set at the factory for optimal cutting, so avoid adjusting it right away. The shears reach their best performance after a short break-in period of regular use. If you do need to adjust later, make small turns and test on hair before working on the dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose the 7.0 or 7.5 inch curved thinning shears?

The 7.0 inch gives more control around faces, feet, and small dogs. The 7.5 inch covers more coat per cut, which saves time on bodies, legs, and larger breeds.

Always keep the blade tips pointed away from the eyes and skin. Finish every groom with a fresh scarf from our dog bandanas collection, and find more tools in our grooming and hygiene collection.
