Thinning Scissors?
« on: October 17, 2003, 12:05:07 PM »
Just to confirm do you all recommend 46 teeth/point thinning scissors? :) I have looked back on a previous thread and  Diamond Edge recommended wo402. any advice on thinning out would be greatly appreciated.

Yes you need thinning scissors with 46 teeth. The Diamond Edge make would not be my personal choice - its worth paying extra for a good pair like Roseline but it depends on your budget really :)

Thanks Jane,
Roseline would be ok, anything for my baby.  Would you have an address for them.

Roseline are a brand of scissor and are available from Diamond Edge, or you could try www.denbar-uk-ltd.co.uk/acatalog/Denbar_Roseline_208.html&e=747

Re using thinning scissors - I know I've posted these pics before but rather than search through loads of old posts here they are again. They show you how to hold the scissor and in which direction to use them.

I have some Diamond edge cheap-ish thining scissors - but I find them too big and clumsy too use without making a mess.
Can anyone recommend a small pair of spaniel suitable thinnin gscissors - small as in not much longer than 6-7 inches-ish ??

Sorry to hi-jack your thread Allison  :)

I had a cheapy pair of thinning scissors bought of diamond edge (approx £22) can't remember the make now, but I passed them on to Mary when i got a great pair as a gift  ;)
I was told mine were the Skoda equivalant of thinners whereas the ones I've got now are the Mercedes  ;) ;D
They are Rose Line No 82193 ice tempered steel  8)
