Scissors

[Dogs4Fun]

Hi All,

I need to replace some scissors for grooming my standard poodle. I like the size and weight of the scissors I have (shear magic), but they don't hold their edge well enough.

Where do I measure the scissors so I can order the right size: is it the blade length from hinge to tip or the length of the whole scissors? I am only doing a pet clip at the moment, but will be doing show clips some time in the future

I am planning to invest in some scissors that will last a while. I have looked at the Whal and they seem really nice. Any suggestions?

Also, can anyone suggest a good place to get scissors and clipper blades sharpened in Sydney, or a mail out place with a good turn around time?

I just googled it, and you measure from the end of the finger rest (if you have one) to the tip of the blade, and that gives you the size.

My scissors are Jaguar brand, made in Germany, cost me $100 about 15 years ago and I have not had them sharpened yet, though I dont use them as much as you would on a Poodle

For a standard poodle you need 10 inch scissors (curved and straights) I also have several pairs of Jags I like - you could also look at Geib. My first pair of scissors were Whal and I quickly passed them on to a learner. The more you pay the better they are.

Hi Fru Fru,

My current scissors are 9 1/2 inch - I think I would be a bit scared to use anything bigger - but my groomer uses some shears that looked about twice this to do the saddle area when he was in show puppy trim!

Haven't seen the Jaguar scissors - any online suppliers?
