KAI Japanese Nail Clippers With Side Nail File, Stainless Steel, Made in Japan

Seki City, Japan has been known for high quality knives since at least the 1980s, the successor to Solingen and Sheffield. I have several. So it's no surprise that these are outstanding. As for the "samurai" thing, the best katana blades were made in Bizen, a region just to the west, but I can't blame KAI for marketing :) They of course have nothing to do with tamehagane steel used for sword blades. I had just done my nails prior to receiving it, but clipped a bit of thumbnail to test them. As described in other reviews, it cuts cleanly without snapping off a piece, and it doesn't fly across the room. Very sharp. They are larger than most fingernail clippers, but this is a huge plus in my book. Using my left hand to clip the nails of my right is a huge pain with little clippers, as I'm right-handed; and sorry to say my left hand is pretty inept. These have the sharpness, purchase, and leverage to make it a breeze. My nails are thick, I've often used toenail clippers for them. Don't know how some people find it "too bulky to use", it's great. Requires very little force. I also like the gentle curvature of the blades. So many clippers seem to have extreme concave edges that are fine for a pinky nail, but way too curved for a man's thumbnail. These are just right. The nail file slot thing is okay, but I'll never use it. Have German sapphire files for filing. Could be used in a pinch. In short, highly recommend. If your toenails aren't thick you could likely use these for those too. Especially for the price paid, these are excellent. Very good steel.

These KAI Japanese nail clippers are exceptional! The stainless steel construction is premium quality and made in Japan craftsmanship really shows. They cut cleanly and precisely with no splitting or tearing. The side nail file is a great bonus feature. Sharp, durable, and ergonomic design. Best nail clippers I've ever used. Worth every penny!

the clippers are big, but they cut and cut clean!

These clippers go through thick nails like butter. It's actually kinda scary how sharp they are. The removable clipping catcher is convenient and makes trimming nails a less messy affair. The steel feels nice and high quality. It's totally silent from start to finish. My only gripe is that it's so bulky with and without the tray that it's hard to clip nail edges or unorthodox shapes. Either way, there's enough positives that I'm willing to deal with it

Aesthetically these look very nice and high quality, but unfortunately they don't cut smooth and left jagged edges that snag on every nail I cut. I bought a pair of $8 clippers and they somehow better in the clipping

These are the best nail clippers I've ever used. The steel is high quality, the nail vile works well, and the silicone housing prevents your clippings from flying across the room. I have yet to have an issue with this pair of clippers. I pre-emptively bought a pair for my wife so mine wouldn't disappear, and she feels the same way. I really never thought I would be writing a review on nail clippers, but they are that good.

I kept one and gave others as Christmas presents.everyone pointed out how sharp they were and how well they worked. My arthritic-handed father said he’s actually able to clip his own nails with ease now.

Nail clippers are really sharp! The nail file on the side helps to file it into a perfect round shape, however the file can get clogged up with your nail so handy to have a small brush to brush away excess

When I heard about Japanese nail clippers, I thought, “Another thing the Japanese do better?” and wondered if it was just advertising. Well, I love these nail clippers, and I’ll never go back to using others. They’re really sharp and very effective.

絶望的に爪を切り難い 刃のカーブと開き具合が悪く爪を挟めない とても人間用の爪切りとは考え難い 厳しい物言いですが、伸び代しかないデザイナーに物を作らせてはいけない ただ切れ味は良い 爪切りにはオーバースペックですけどね 反省点しかない製品という物を手元に置くというのも、良い戒めなります

But large if you have small hands, but t excellent quality as expected from all Kai products I have knives from them

Made in Japan will never let you down. Adore Japanese products due to their high quality.
