A clipper comprises an elongated handle grip 10 and a cutting head 20 which has an outer shearing foil 22 and an inner cutter assembly 40 driven to rotate in engagement with the undersurface of the outer shearing foil 22 for clipping the entangled fiber strands from the surface of a fabric. The cutting head 20 has a center axis which is perpendicular to the general top plane of the shearing foil 22 and about which the inner cutter assembly 40 rotates. The cutting head 20 extends forwardly from the one longitudinal end of the handle grip 10 with its center axis angled at an obtuse angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle grip 10. A recovery chute 60 is provided along the front face 11 of the handle grip 10 for recovering the clipped fiber strands from within the cutting head 20. The chute 60 has a tapered front surface 61 which tapers from its one end adjacent the cutting head 20 towards the opposite end such that the front surface 61 of the chute 60 is increasingly spaced from the general top plane of the cutting head 20 towards its end remote from the cutting head 20 along the length of the handle grip 10.
