Very excited about this drop! I've spent a lot of time perfecting this design and the manufacturing process. I hope you all enjoy it!

It is not closed off on either side. Thanks for the question. There is enough friction in the pivot area to prevent the comb from opening, it is not free swinging like a pocket knife would be. I understand your concern about that, but there is no need to worry!

Does anyone know what type of naval brass this uses? (i.e. lead-free naval brass)

invis648This particular Brass is C464 Naval Brass and does contain trace amounts of Lead. It is listed as a "lead free" brass by the manufacturers I have looked into and ordered from. Other alloys have as much as 50 to 60 times more Lead and I pay quite a bit more money for C464 Brass for that reason. Great question!

invis648For reference, if you tripled the Lead content in C464 Brass it would still be EPA approved to use as piping for drinking water.

Can anyone provide a picture of this with something in it for scale (pocketknife, quarter, etc.), or as part of their carry? Just looking to get some idea of size.

I purchased this comb last drop and I can attest the aesthetics are excellent. It look wonderful and is exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, it tends to rip out my beard hair like that's its job. Using it for the first comb of the day is a nightmare. I have been using my regular, $3, plastic corsair to get things in order, then using this to maintain throughout the day, but that still causes lots of hair loss, ripped out by the root so it's not dry or damaged hair.
Proceed with caution. I'm almost certainly going back to my plastic comb full time once I accept the fact that I wasted $40+ on a beautiful, if pain-inducing, comb.

Just got mine today and "Wow".
This was a bit of an impulse buy, as are so many of our little carry around bits and bobs - the seemingly silly EDC items that we try to justify a 50$ price tag with the hope that it's "buy-it-for-life" quality.
So often we are disappointed.
This is not one of those times. Full grain leather, excellently cut and burnished edges, clean pressed lines for the bordering and text, and of a lovely weight to hold in hand.
But above all, it succeeds in the details. The comforting and all important small things that separate the "eh I guess it is ok, at least it was on sale" purchase trials from your treasured possessions. Perfectly uniform and rounded teeth, the tightness in the hinge, no burrs or rough edges to the metal, no missed spots to the brushed finish, the rotation into the sheathe does not scrape at tip as it slides in nor is the sheathe too roomy either.
This sounds like a love song, but you know the feeling. When everything is just as you were hoping for. The satisfaction of buying a carefully and well crafted product.
In functionality, it combs well. I have long, straight, very determined Asian hair. Combs that are too wide toothed do little more than break up tangles, too fine and they threaten to clog up just out of sheer follicle density. This is a nice balance that works well for me.

Maybe a funny question, but what about the beard? Does anyone have any experiences with this comb, when it comes to long or short beard or mustache? I am a bald guy with a full beard. However, to my knowledge, there are differences between hair and facial hair. And this would be my first brass comb. :)

danglingelseMany customers have purchased this as a beard comb! The only thing to note is when used on curly hair especially it is very important that the comb is perpendicular to the hair, as is the case with most metal combs (this is nowhere near the first).
Thanks for the question. Let me know if you have any more!

CarbonHandprintThanks a lot for the response. Did not know about this perpendicular thing. Maybe it is really worth a try, as I habe broken my long lasting wooden comb.

Hi there! How would you maintain your comb, in particular the brass? I would like to get a comment back from the producer of the comb. Had never really any experiences with brass. Thanks!

Got mine today. Great quality. Solid comb, nice leather, heavy and well finished. Better than expected. Will be used on my full beard. Top-notch product! Worth the extra customs (shipped to Germany).
Btw; c'mon Massdrop, we need a EU warehouse. Even European products are being shipped from US.

Received mine today. I really dig this comb! This is my first metal comb, so I couldn't tell you how it compares to any other, but it works well and the quality is top notch. Runs through the hair nice and smooth and feels good on the scalp. I'm looking forward to having this around for quite awhile
