Know its limit

Mikki's own guidance is that a knot bigger than a pea needs a professional groomer, not this tool — and by law this product can't be sold to anyone under 18, which tells you how seriously the blade itself needs to be treated even though it's built for beginners to use carefully.

Why we chose it

A blade built specifically to work close to the skin without a full clipper attachment is the right tool for the small, awkward mats that come up between proper grooms. Knowing when to stop and call a groomer, rather than pretending every mat is a DIY job, is exactly the honesty this tool is built around.

— Matt, founder

Full description

A stubborn mat behind an ear or in an armpit is exactly the spot clippers can't reach safely, which is why a bladed tool built to work in tight to the skin exists as its own category rather than a bigger clipper doing the job.

This is a bladed matt splitter with a tapered tip that guides the micro-serrated stainless steel blade in behind a mat, kept level with the skin, using a sawing action in short strokes rather than force. Mikki's own instruction is to comb the mat into isolation first, and it's designed to be easy for beginners on smaller, tricky areas like behind the ears or in the armpits. It works for left- or right-handed use, and measures 6.6 x 5.4 x 0.8cm.

Who it's for: owners dealing with small, tricky mats in awkward spots like behind the ears or in the armpits, rather than a full-coat matting problem better left to a professional.
