Collection: Thinning shears and chunkers

The finishing touch for every coat

Good grooming scissors are half the battle, but for a natural result and a perfect blend, you can't do without a quality thinning shear or chunker . Although they seem similar, they each serve a very specific purpose in coat care.

What is a thinning shear?

Thinning shears have teeth on one or both blades. These shears are primarily used to thin out the coat or blend harsh cutting lines.

Natural transition: Ideal for making the transition between short and long hair invisible.

Reduce Volume: Perfect for dogs with thick, heavy coats where you want to thin out the bulk without drastically changing the length.

Hiding mistakes: Because these scissors don't cut all the hair in one pass, they're very forgiving for beginners.

What is a chunker?

The chunker is the "powerhouse" among grooming scissors. You'll recognize them by their coarse, often T-shaped teeth and the wider spaces between them. I use this one especially for curly coats.

Shaping with speed: Chunkers remove more hair than standard thinning shears, allowing you to shape your coat faster.

The 'Scissored Look': Use a chunker for that signature soft 'woolly' look on breeds like the Poodle, Bichon Frise, or Doodle.

Applying texture: It gives the coat a playful, natural structure instead of a straight, rigid line.
