Built for lefties, not adapted for them.
Lupo Scissors are hand-made from Japanese 440C stainless steel, built exclusively for the Canadian grooming market. 440C is the industry's workhorse alloy — hard enough to hold a convex edge through heavy use, soft enough to re-sharpen cleanly for years of service. The offset handle positions your thumb and fingers in a natural grip, which matters when you're on your eighth dog of the day.
About this thinner
A 48-tooth thinner is a finish tool — the shear you reach for after the chunker has done its work, when you need to soften edges, blend clipper lines invisibly, and pull a coat into its final shape without removing any real bulk. Each cut removes roughly 20–30% of the hair it catches, which is exactly what you want for finishing passes.
For left-handed groomers, this is the spec where a true-left build matters most. Finish work is precision work — you don't want to be correcting for a tool that was designed for someone else's hand.
