Simply put, this is one of the most amazing combs we've ever used. You'll get more out of it because they've put more into it. Handcrafted to the smallest detail. Flat spine with polished round core top allows you to glide through the coat like butter. All brass comb with nickel plating. This comb is much larger than the cheap combs you normally see. It is 7 1/2 inches long. The teeth are 1 1/16 inches long. There are 11 teeth per inch in the fine half and 8 teeth per inch in the coarse half.
