The JW® GripSoft® Shedding Blade features an ergonomic, rubber-wrapped handle designed to conform to the natural curvature of your hand and provides optimal comfort and control when grooming your pet. The curved oval shaped blade has tiny teeth that release even the most tangled parts of the fur. A great tool that is also perfect for removing large amounts of dead and shedding fur on large breeds. The shedding blade also helps reduce carpets when used regularly. The metal teeth lift the hairs falling from the undercoat and loosen the slightly matted fur.
