Chicago CombModel 1 Standard, Stainless Steel, 5.5 in. (14 cm) long, Pocket and Travel comb, Made in USA

This "Chicago Comb Model 1 Standard" is an excellent pocket comb in stainless steel. The stainless construction is durable and resistant to bending even if sat on in a back pocket, and the 4" length is about as large as I would recommend for pocket carry or stowage in a briefcase for travel. The teeth are nicely smoothed and their medium spacing is ideal for thick hair: tight enough to groom effectively, but loose enough not to grab or tug the hair the way fine-tooth combs can do. My only criticisms are that I think the comb would feel nicer if the metal had a smoother high-polished finish (the brushed finish feels a little grabby or chalky, though it runs through hair plenty smoothly) and it's also heavier than expected. It's not heavy per se--probably about the weight of four quarters--but it's noticeably heavier than comparably sized plastic combs. I had expected it to be less substantial. Of course, the heft also makes it stiff and durable, so it's a trade off you might prefer. If you're looking for an ultra light solution, though, you may want to look for titanium instead--if you can justify the added cost, which I can't. In my case, I'll likely carry this in my briefcase or keep it in my desk at work instead of carrying it frequently in a pocket as I had originally envisioned. Had I know that, I could've been content with a cheaper plastic comb as well. I only went with stainless steel because I wanted something durable that wouldn't break my pocket. Whatever. It gets the job done and is a nice comb.

Great comb, very durable, carry it every day.

Great weight. I've had dozens of wooden combs, all broken. I've carried this every day for months next to my wallet and pocket knife still just like new. I carry it vertically at the back of my right hand front pocket, so I added a Paracord lanyard to help retrieve it. It works well in my beard and hair.

Honestly the best and most rugged comb I have ever owned. Most metal combs are thin and flimsy. This one is not. I am definitely buying another one soon!!!

I don't like the way this comb looks. I do love the way my hair looks after I use this comb. No snags, no irritation, just outstanding results, with or without styling products.You can buy a basic plastic comb for 1/10th the price, but I would argue this comb is indeed 10 times better, maybe even more.

Bought my first of these years ago. Bought one for my son and a 2nd one for myself recently. High quality, Made In USA. Get one!
