{"product_id":"curved-dog-grooming-thinning-shears","title":"Curved Dog Grooming Thinning Shears, 7.25 Inch Japanese 440C","description":"\u003cp\u003eStraight shears struggle with the rounded shapes that make a groom look finished: teddy bear heads, full topknots, tidy round feet, and soft leg columns. These curved dog grooming thinning shears are built for exactly that work. A 20 to 25 degree curve follows the natural contours of the dog, and you can choose a V-tooth blade for gentle blending or a fishbone chunker that removes bulk fast. Both are made from Japanese 440C steel, hardened to 62 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Thinning Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two blade options handle very different jobs, and many groomers keep both on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003cthead\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBlade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eTeeth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eThinning Rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eV-tooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e25%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eBlending, softening lines, finishing work\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eFishbone (chunker)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e34\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e70%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eRemoving bulk quickly, texturizing, shaping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe V-tooth takes off a little hair with each cut, so it's forgiving for blending scissor marks and finishing a smooth, natural look.

It lets the blade sit along rounded areas instead of cutting flat spots into them. That makes it easier to sculpt round heads, bevel feet, shape tails, and blend the transitions between body and legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese 440C steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened to 62 HRC for a sharp, lasting edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 to 25 degree curve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Follows rounded areas like heads, feet, and topknots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo tooth styles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25% V-tooth for blending or 70% fishbone for bulk removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable tension screw:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine-tune the blade tightness for a smooth, stable cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-ground blades:\u003c\/strong\u003e Finished by hand for close, even contact along the curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinger rest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds control and reduces hand strain during long sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitanium color plating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available in black, gold, or rainbow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.25 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.8 cm (about 3.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.6 cm (about 7.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese 440C, 62 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurvature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 to 25 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fenice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose the V-tooth or the fishbone chunker shears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you groom at home or mainly finish and blend, start with the 25% V-tooth. It's more forgiving. If you work on thick, curly coats and want to remove bulk quickly, the 70% fishbone chunker saves time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the tension on these thinning shears?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The adjustable screw at the pivot lets you tighten or loosen the blades. Keep it snug enough that the blades close cleanly without folding hair, but loose enough to open and close smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways keep the blade tips pointed away from your dog's eyes and skin, and work slowly around the face and paws.
