Stripping Knife?

[pookiegirl]

Hi,

Does anyone know where a stripping knife for a left hander can be purchased?

Should I purchase a fine knife to do face, ears, chest, tail?

Any recommendations would be greatly apprecited.

Thanks,

Barbara

I'd just get a medium to start. Pearson will make a left-handed knife no problem. They even have a monthly drawing for a free finishing knife. I have a set of their rosewood specialty knives and they are works of art, but I will tell you honestly, if I'm not going to use my fingers I'll almost always steal Peggy's regular knife - the balance and fit to my hand is just right.

On the other hand, you'd be taking advice from a groomer so bad that judges in five states have requested that I never touch another Cairn.

Thanks for the recommendation and the website link.

Hopefully, I will not do too much damage!

Krista,

Are you trying to scareme off before I give it a try?

Don't worry.....It grows back! Promise!

Take it from someone who has left divets... and my groomer has forbid me to touch the tails....

No, sorry I meant they do make left handed stripping knives. It seems like they were all I could find for a while for any reasonable price......I stripped Kipper today and he now has a bald spot on his back!!!!
