Just finished my latest batch of beard combs for the beardy bushcrafter :) Fiddly wee things to do, and not very economical in business terms, but a fun thing to make. I hope you like them :)

Each comb has metal tines with a wood or antler handle. They measure around 8-9cm in length. They each come with a handmade leather sheath and can be supplied with a leather neck cord. ALL NOW SOLD .

These don't replace the job done by a certain type of nurse in junior schools, do they?! :rolleyes:

That's what I thought or dog combs lol.

Seriously though Hamish , great work , but I have to say....bad choice of tines imho. For beards the general consensus is that beards benifit from horn, wood, bone and considered best of all .... Boar bristle .I'm led to belive Boar bristle has tiny scales on the hair that helps condition as well as tidy the beard.

Thanks mate :) I agree with you, I would much rather make wood/bone combs but they are simply not cost effective, so I sourced the metal tines to make these affordable. Maybe in the future i'll carve some bone ones ;)

Top notch Hamish, all of them are lovely but there's a couple which are real sweeties in my eye. Perfect for the traditional Saturday night cleansing ritual. (Though I never liked the idea of others "snotting" into the bowl before passing it round - though it may work as a conditioner for the beard.)

Number 2 is simply beautiful.
