A grooming tool with a serrated blade used to pull dead guard hairs from wiry-coated breeds by hand. Essential for maintaining proper coat texture in terriers and Schnauzers.
Clipping wiry coats softens texture over time. Hand stripping preserves the harsh, weather-resistant quality that defines terrier breeds.
Pull in the direction of hair growth with a steady, quick motion. Only strip coat that releases easily — forcing resistant hair causes discomfort.
