Nikken Japanese Nail Clipper - Carbon Steel, Hand-Finished in Seki, with Catcher & File
Made in Seki City, Japan — a town where sword-making began 800 years ago — this nail clipper carries forward a reputation built over centuries: blades that are unbreakable, unbendable, and sharp. Each piece is finished individually by hand by craftsmen in one of the world's three great cutlery capitals. Most nail clippers use stainless steel. This one does not. The manufacturer chose carbon steel for the blade because it takes a finer, sharper edge — the difference you feel the first time the blade passes through a nail with a clean, quiet snap rather than a crush. The curved cutting edge follows the natural arc of the nail, leaving a smooth result that needs little to no filing.
