very durable and well made [SEP] with donkeys horses and dogs i am always on the lookout for shedding tools of all types this shedding blade works wonderfully not only is it removing hair but also dust dirt and dander i cannot say how many times i have used it since i received it but almost all animals are groomed daily and some twice an old toothbrush helps to reach between the teeth to remove stubborn dirt i will definitely be purchasing againsoon
