Sklar Merit Canine Thinners, Straight, 7 in
A Sklar Merit canine thinners, 7 inches, straight with a tension dial and a single 32 tooth blade, used to thin and blend a dog's coat during grooming.
Thinning shears are used to reduce bulk and blend a dog's coat rather than cut a straight, even line, with one blade carrying multiple teeth that remove only a portion of the hair caught between the blades on each closure. This Sklar Merit version measures 7 inches with a straight profile, an adjustable tension dial and a single blade featuring 32 teeth, along with blue finger pads for grip during use.
It is one of two variants offered in this listing, giving veterinary groomers a choice depending on hand size and preferred grip style. Thinners of this kind are used in veterinary clinics and grooming settings wherever a softer, blended finish is wanted on a dog's coat rather than the sharp line left by straight shears.
The tension dial lets the groomer adjust blade resistance to suit coat thickness and personal technique. It should be cleaned and maintained between uses following standard grooming equipment hygiene practices.
