What is the Pet Comb Hair Knife (Knot Cutter)? This is a specialized grooming tool designed to tackle the toughest problem in pet care: matted fur. Often called a "Matt Breaker" or "Knot Cutter," it features stainless steel teeth with sharp inner blades. Instead of pulling painfully on a knot like a regular comb, this tool safely slices through the mat, breaking it apart instantly. It allows you to remove clumps of fur without having to shave your pet bald.
Best For: Long-haired cats (Persians, Maine Coons), Dogs with mats (Goldens, Doodles, Spaniels), and removing burrs stuck in fur.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Slices Through Knots: The sharp inner curve of the blades cuts through the hair mat effortlessly, saving you from spending hours trying to untangle it by hand.
- Safety Rounded Tips: The outer tips that touch your pet's skin are blunt and rounded, ensuring you can work near the skin without scratching or cutting your pet.
- Pain-Free Grooming: By cutting the knot instead of pulling it, you avoid yanking on your pet's sensitive skin, making the grooming experience much less traumatic.
- Ergonomic Grip: Designed with a non-slip handle to give you precise control, which is crucial when working with sharp grooming tools.
- Versatile Use: Excellent for removing "burrs" or sticky seeds that dogs pick up outdoors, as well as neglecting matted fur behind ears and under armpits.

Pros & Cons:
- ✅ Pros: The only tool that fixes bad mats without shaving, instant results, safe design, durable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it safe? Will it cut my pet? A: It is designed to be safe when used correctly. The outer tips are rounded and dull, so they slide along the skin safely. The sharp blade is hidden on the inside curve of the teeth, where only the trapped hair touches.
Q: How do I use it? A: Locate the knot or mat. Place the blades underneath the knot (between the knot and the skin). Hold the base of the fur with your fingers to prevent pulling the skin, then gently saw or pull the tool outwards through the knot to slice it open.
Q: Can I use this for regular brushing? A: No. This is a specialized tool for mats and knots. For daily brushing, use our Slicker Brush or standard Comb. Use this "Hair Knife" only when you find a tangle that won't brush out.
Q: Is it good for Golden Retrievers? A: Yes. Goldens often get nasty mats behind their ears ("ear mats") and on their pantaloons (butt fur). This tool slices right through those stubborn mats in seconds.
