Frequently asked questions
Who makes Greyhound stripping knives?
Greyhound is the brand of Ashley Craig Pet Products from Riverside, California. The stripping knives are made individually by craftsmen in Europe and finished in the USA; the designs come from founder Ruth Ashley.
Which Greyhound stripping knife do I need for my dog?
For head, ears and outlines you use a fine Detail Stripping Knife, for back and flanks a medium or coarse knife. Wire-haired breeds such as terriers or schnauzers usually need two to three tooth sizes.
Do I have to dull Greyhound stripping knives before first use?
No, according to the manufacturer the knives are ready to use straight away and do not need to be dulled. You can start stripping right away.
What is the difference between a Greyhound Carding Knife and a Stripping Knife?
With the Stripping Knife you pluck out dead top coat including the root. The Carding Knife combs out loose undercoat without removing the top coat.
Are Greyhound combs really made in England?
Yes, according to Ashley Craig the combs are made by hand in England, the pins set into hand-cut spines and nickel-plated in Europe. The coloured finishes are then applied in the USA.
Which Greyhound brush suits Coton de Tuléar and Maltese?
For the finish and shine, a brush with natural bristle or bristle and nylon such as the Small Boar Bristle Brush is suitable. For brushing through a long coat you use a pin brush with 27 mm pins.
How do I care for Greyhound stripping knives?
After stripping, remove hair and sebum with a dry cloth and store the knife dry. A drop of oil on the blade protects against rust.
