Note: Plain steel (German: "blank") means the steel is untreated – no nickel plating or other surface finish, which usually makes this version a little more economical. The surface is protected only by oil. Keep the blades and shank lightly oiled and oil the joint regularly, otherwise humidity can cause tarnish or rust. The cutting edge itself is ground bare on every version. If you prefer a lower-maintenance surface, choose a nickel- or chrome-plated version.

The WASA Fetlock Scissors 6.5" is strong grooming scissors for trimming fetlock feathers on horses. Version: plain steel, straight.
WASA fetlock scissors are strong grooming scissors for horses, used to trim the feathering at fetlocks and hooves cleanly. Curved blades follow the curve of the leg; versions with a bent shank keep the hand away from the animal. The scissors are mostly supplied in plain steel and are very robust.
WASA stands for Waldmin & Saam: the scissor manufacturer was founded in Solingen in 1907 by August Waldmin and Friedrich Saam and is still known today for forged quality scissors – above all embroidery and needlework scissors.

Frequently asked questions
Straight or curved?
Curved blades follow the leg and make trimming at fetlock and hoof easier; straight blades suit mane and tail.
What does "plain steel" (blank) mean for a WASA scissor?
It means untreated steel without nickel plating. The surface is only oiled, so blades, shank and joint should be lightly oiled regularly to prevent tarnish or rust. Nickel- or chrome-plated versions need less care.
