Seki Edge Nail Clippers (SS-106) - Stainless Steel Fingernail Clippers for Men & Women - Sharp Cutting Edges for Thick Nails - Professional & Home Use - Made in Japan

You should really grab a pair of these clippers, you won't regret it. After 62 years, I've finally realized that using high-quality tools makes a world of difference. These are made with great materials and excellent quality control. They cut through nails like butter, and the grip and weight feel amazing. Don't waste your time on cheap ones ever again. They don't come with a case, so you'll need to get your own if you want one. I know they seem pricey compared to the cheap ones at the store, but they're a great deal given how well they work and how long they'll last.

These nail clippers are on a completely different level compared to the cheap ones I’ve used for years. The blades are super sharp and cut through nails cleanly with almost no pressure. Because they’re so sharp, I actually have to be a little extra careful when trimming — something I never had to think about with the flimsy drugstore clippers that barely cut at all. But that sharpness is exactly what makes these so good: no tearing, no jagged edges, no going back over the same spot. The stainless steel build feels solid and high‑quality, and the mechanism operates smoothly without wobbling. They’re comfortable to hold, and the cut is precise every single time. It’s one of those tools where you immediately notice the difference in quality. Overall, these clippers are outstanding. They’re sharp, sturdy, and make nail trimming quick and effortless. Easily the best pair I’ve owned.

It is sharp and cuts cleanly

These are more costly than some but are great clippers.

These work great. Wish they had a file but otherwise appear high quality.

The clippers are excellent. Cut really well and easy to use. However, the nail file is disappointing. It does not do a good job of filing my nails. My emery board nail files work much better.

Each of us has certain tools or accessories in which we are more or less interested than the average person. Maybe you're totally wrapped up in finding "the ultimate hammer" where, to me, it's no big deal. I suspect that I am a lot more interested in a quality nail clipper than the average person who's sufficiently satisfied with the chrome plated items we find in most drugstores and grocery stores. If the average nail clipper you find in the local store is good enough for you, then there's no reason to read this review. Personally, I find the typical chrome plated, "inexpensive" nail clipper to be utterly maddening. Why? A) the chrome plating often starts falling off before you even open the package and it begins to fall off even faster when you begin using the clippers; B) the cutting edge on most brands is utterly inconsistent. If I buy two pair of a given brand, I find one clips just fine while the second gets about half way through my nail and decides it's just too much work and I end up tearing the nail instead of clipping it. C) The clippers tend to fall apart WAY too fast, with the thumb lever becoming loose and wobbly in no time. D) The metal is such low quality that any significant encounter with water gets them rusting like crazy. E) Even the better ones have such poorly shaped cutting edges that they'd be better described as "nail crunchers", leaving a rough edge instead of a smooth, clean edge. Some cutting edges are so poor they won't even cut cleanly through loose skin around the nail. If these gripes about the common nail clipper ring a bell with you, then I strongly suggest you try the Seki Edge Stainless Steel Nail Clipper. First off, it's stainless steel, not chrome plated ... no flakes of chrome getting imbedded under your fingernails ... no rusting after a few days in damp shower kit. Second, the construction is sturdy and substantial, not flimsy. Third, the cutting edge is masterful, delivering a clean, smooth cut every time ... a cut accompanied by a satisfying CLICK!! that tells you it's cut cleanly through the nail. Forth, the mechanism is designed to work smoothly with no ill fitting, loose or wobbly parts. It's simply the best fingernail clipper I've EVER used and I can highly recommend it. Given that people's priorities do vary, there are a few product details you should consider before purchasing ... if you like a fingernail file built into your clipper, you won't find one here. Personally, when I need a file (which isn't often with this true edged clipper), I use the one in my smallest Swiss Army Knife. Second, there is no round hole in the base of the clipper to which to attach a chain or key ring. There are two narrow slots through which a small diameter chord could be fitted, but nothing big enough to support a chain or key ring. Lastly, this item is made of substantial stainless steel, so it's considerably heavier than most clippers. If that's likely to bother you, keep it in mind. I have NO regrets about this great clipper and I'm SO glad I got it.

The best purchase and investment I’ve ever made! Year after year, I kept buying cheap nail clippers that would fall apart and leave rough, jagged edges after cutting. I’m so happy with my choice!

Very good

Ich halte mich üblich mit Superlativen zurück, aber das ist der beste Nagelknipser, den ich je benutzt habe. Die Gründe dafür sind: 1) Er folgt natürlich dem Bogen der Finger- und Zehnägel und sorgt mit wenigen Griffen für ein harmonisches Bild, keine Kanten, Risse oder Unebenheiten. 2) Er schneidet die Nägel, ohne dass sie danach scharfkantig sind - gerade, wenn man ein Baby oder Kleinkind hat, ist das wichtig. 3) Er ist scharf, man muss seine Zange aber einfach am Nagel ansetzen und nicht, wie bei anderen Knipsern, sie erst umständlich UNTER den Nagel schieben. 4) Er ist haptisch ein Fest, nahezu frei von Kunststoff, wird vermutlich mein Leben lang halten und außerdem schneidet er die Nägel mit einem satten KLICK. Ist er etwas teurer als andere Knipser? Ja. Aber er ist auch das Geld wert.

Yes! It did a better job.

The sharpness of the cutter is good, has always cut well and was very easy to use. The problem with it however, is that after a month and a half of near daily use, the bottom of the pin that holds the arm to the cutter part just disintegrated. It seems to me like a pretty massive design fault that the metal part that is in constant contact with another piece of metal is made so thin, that just by the rotation back and forth of the arm from the cutting position to the default position, it will wear out completely within maybe a few hundred uses. I suppose it could be a manufacturing issue of some kind, but for the price I paid (25 euros!), I expected it to last me at the very least a year.

Japan craftsmanship, always delivers!
