Super Gator Dog Grooming Shears Designed by groomers for groomers, Super Gator Curved Grooming Shears offer unsurpassed balance, weight, and feel. You'll feel the comfort of this revolutionary shear the moment it's in your hand! The stainless steel sponge-iron used in Super Gator Curved Grooming Shears, the same metal used to make Katana Samurai Swords, is triple-tempered for ultra pureness, creating a metal density that provides supreme balance. Rockwell Hardness rating of 59 for an amazingly durable blade edge Optional ring inserts create a better fit and reduce rubbing and blistering Ultra smooth scissoring capabilities, balance, and comfort The teardrop-shaped thumb hole and angled thumb ring on the Super Gator Straight Grooming Shears set your hand in a natural position. Because the thumb is not overextended during scissoring, the tension on the hand and wrist is greatly reduced, and scissoring is accomplished with less effort. Calibrated "click-plate" tension dial allows you to customize the tension of the shear. The tension dial "clicks" your settings into place with each turn, so tension will not loosen during scissoring. Choose; 8.5 straight, 8.5 curved, or both shears
