I bought my first Striking Viking comb about 7 years ago and used it almost daily until I lost it while traveling. During that time I gave a few of them as gifts to friends and praised the brand to anyone who would listen. Of course, I determined to buy the same item to replace my lost comb.

There have been some very obvious cost cutting measures in the intervening years and the quality of the comb (and "leather" case) is now garbage. The new comb is rough and sharp and feels overall very low quality. The case is awful.
The durability is gone completely. My new comb snapped in half within two months of use.

In short, stay away from this product. This is a company that built a reputation on a high quality product that they no longer make.

I've had this thing for years and there's no damage. It lost its nice smell though.

I bought my husband this. Within 2 days, his beard looked so much better! I highly recommend this product!

Just what I expected.

I was curious about this folding wooden comb. Once getting it, I immediately saw how nicely it stored away in my pocket without any sign of being there. Nestled comfortably next to my key fob and didn’t bulk up my pocket at all.

Now the great part where the rubber meets the road! (Or where the comb meets the beard), the tips of the bristles are not sharp meaning no scratching of my cheek or chin. The strength of the tines held up nicely against the tug of my thick beard and slayed it into place! It did not absorb my beard oil at all which was another concern. I am curious how long the hinge will hold up but that remains to be seen. I am getting another for a gift to my friend!
