I found them very comfortable in that your thumb does not have to reach for the blade. The knife fresh out of the box does NOT cut hair! i loved the range of choices, especially the two wider teeth/coarse ones on thick schnauzer coat! I will be trying out the different handles next. Paired with the sentinel chalk i swear I was faster!
