It takes quite a mental leap to go from the awe-inspiring katana swords of the samurai to today's chef knives, hairdresser scissors, and nail clippers but when the samurai warrior class was abolished and Japan entered the modern age, back in 1868, all the swordsmiths who worked for them had to adjust to the demands of the times. And while a katana sword remains a true work of beauty, just one look at the Suwada Diamond Nail Clipper makes you wonder if perhaps this household item also deserves that same level of epithet.
From the curves of the blade to the multifaceted handle that ensures a perfect grip from many different angles and the satin finish of its steel, the Suwada Diamond Nail Clipper is a marvel of metallurgy that rightfully won the 2023 Good Design Award. It takes old-school craftsmanship to be able to put so much detailed work into only 120 mm (4.7") of steel and for these clippers, Suwada used special artisans who make sure that you will be able to use the clippers for years to come, and that every time the clipping sensation will be as smooth as it was the first time!
