Self Cleaning Stripping/curry Comb

Recommended Posts

I remember this comb from when I was a kid. It was fantastic for stripping out the old coat of one of our dogs. I was the only one to groom him and I loved this little comb. I was helping clean out my mothers house and this very nearly got chucked but I spotted it first and rescued it. Looking alot worse for wear now but still works brilliantly. That white stuff is from my poor old mares scurfy coat. I've been out there trying to strip her Winter coat.

Does anyone know where I could get one of these. I dont want something similar, I want one just like this.

thanks Boronia. I saw most of those. I really wish they still made these ones. I will probably just get a hacksaw blade and fix a handle onto it if I cant get one the same.

I've had one of those (in your photo kirslin) rolling around in my grooming stuff for 20yrs. Surface rust but still straight and never used. Happy to post it.

I would LOVE that!! I will pay you for it. Let me know how much. :thumbsup:

Stop Press!! Thankyou for your kind offer but I've found them new and a local shop can get them in for me. They're exactly like mine, haven't changed at all in 50 years.

A fish scaler does the same job as does a hacksaw blade.

Oh I just realised it looked like a fish scaler to me! There's one in an old box with lines in our shed. Should I try that on Jodie? She hates the longer rake I use in the big dogs but she so rarely seems to need brushing.
