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

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 are excellent nail clippers and definitely feel like a premium product. They’re sharp, precise, and cut very cleanly without any struggle. The stainless steel build feels solid and well made, and the side nail file is a nice extra touch. After using them for a while I liked them so much that I ended up buying a pair for my father as well. Overall, a great purchase if you’re looking for high-quality nail clippers that feel built to last.

These are very well made. The blades are very sharp and make a smooth cut. The side file is awkward to use. The clippers are heavy and huge, like toenail clippers. Using them on my standard size fingernails is not as easy as it should be. I wish I had returned them.

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!

I have a lot of kai scissors for sewing and they're my favorite. I recommend them all the time and they get used in a commercial setting and are the best sewing/fabric scissors I've ever used, even better than a popular, more expensive, German made brand. I've also had Kai (Shun) and cheaper Kai kitchen knives, and they're top notch as well. This is the first product I've had from them that I'm not a fan of. I didn't realize there's a plastic housing/grip but I really don't like it, and the nail file is integrated into this plastic piece. I have big hands and feet (I'm a 6'2" American dude) and the plastic thing makes it hard for me to get to the edges of my toenails. Even without the plastic thing, I don't love these. The product itself is very high quality, I just don't like the design. I was so sure they'd be great because they're a made in seki Kai product, that I threw away the packaging before I even used them, otherwise I'd return them. I also have seki edge (green bell) ss107 and those are perfect for me, although they don't have a file.

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.

The cutting part is sharp and really properly angled. Like great manufacturing accuracy. When I cut the nails, the nail didn’t fly. I mean it’s not worth the money just for the function, but man it does make the process of cutting nail nice.

とにかく切りやすい 切った後に二枚爪にならなくていい これはオススメ

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

After doing a bit of research, I couldn't decide between this one, and another above average Japanese made nail clipper. The reviews initially of certain Japanese made nail clippers seemed to suggest they're quite a bit better. Though it's hard to say, time will tell. However, initial impressions after a few uses, is that the tolerances for a good cut may be slightly better than all of my other nail clippers. They do seem to cut more smoothly, resulting in a less sharp feeling of the nail - needing less filing afterwards to remove any sharper edges. I even keep my other nail clippers sharpened with a little maintenance, but none of them cut as nicely, so maybe there is something to it. If you figure your typical set of clippers costs ~ $10 at a box store, or you need to pay 3X as much for a pair that does a better job, you probably would save a bit of time in the long run not having to spend as much time filing your nails. Both pairs of Japanese clippers I bought do share one aspect I've found more impression - the build quality. The tolerances for how everything comes together, the mechanism, the way the pressure is applied, it's obvious they are built better - both seem to be engineered slightly more, using thicker metal stock, or designed with gussets to improve the rigidity, and resulting in a more "solid" feel.

originally blades were a little too sharp and caused a bit of nail sharding, but after a few times of use, they became perfect, cuts perfectly every time with no negative effects.

Works really well, best nail cutter I have experienced so far. It is expensive but will be worth the money if it can last for for at least a decade (last I used was from scoll and it good but lasted only for 4-5 years.
