Hercules Sägemann - Professional Ebonite Cutting Comb 1637-480 - Black

The Hercules Sägemann 1637-480 cutting comb is an essential tool for barbers and hairstylists seeking precision, control and superior quality. Designed to meet the demands of professional work, it offers perfectly balanced ergonomics along its 216 mm length, making it ideal for classic cutting techniques, fades, transitions and scissor‑over‑comb work.

Crafted from ebonite, a vulcanized natural rubber known for its strength, flexibility and exceptional glide, this comb is entirely handmade in Germany through more than 35 artisanal steps, including sawing, shaping and manual polishing of each tooth. This high‑end manufacturing process guarantees perfectly rounded, burr‑free teeth for smooth, gentle passage that respects both the scalp and the hair fiber.

Its deep black finish, characteristic of ebonite, combined with outstanding resistance to heat and chemical products, ensures remarkable durability even under intensive professional use.

• German artisanal manufacturing: Each comb is hand‑sawn, hand‑cut and hand‑polished through more than 35 production steps to ensure flawless teeth and impeccable finish.
• Rounded, burr‑free teeth: Provide smooth, snag‑free glide, protect the cuticle and prevent scalp irritation.
• Heat and chemical resistance: Ideal for daily professional use, even under high temperatures.
• Precise control: The comb’s geometry provides excellent stability, enabling clean cuts, precise transitions and optimal scissor‑over‑comb work.

How to use it

Use the 1637‑480 for all cutting techniques: fades, transitions, straight or graduated cuts. Its 216 mm format ensures stable handling, while the rounded teeth provide uniform glide on both wet and dry hair. Perfect for precise scissor‑over‑comb work or organizing sections before cutting.

Care for ebonite combs: Wipe the comb regularly with a soft cloth. To remove product buildup, use a small soft brush to gently clean between the teeth. Rinse lightly with lukewarm water if needed, then allow it to air‑dry. Avoid direct heat or prolonged sunlight to preserve the quality of the ebonite.
