Suwada Tsumekiri Classic Nail Nippers

There are five areas in Japan known for their excellence in producing knives and all types of cutting tools: Seki in Gifu, Sakai in Osaka, Sanjo in Niigata, Takefu in Fukui, and Tosa in Kochi. Suwada, the maker of the Suwada Tsumekiri Classic Nail Nippers, hail from Sanjo and even if you didn't know about the area's long tradition, you'd immediately be able to tell that this is certainly not the type of nail-grooming tool that you get in your neighborhood drugstore!

Even by the high standards of Japan's blade industry, the Suwada Tsumekiri Classic Nail Nippers stand out and this is why they won a Good Design Award. Available in two sizes, one about 105 mm (4.1") and another about 120 mm (4.7") long, and made of stainless blade steel in a satin finish, the nippers have an ergonomically designed curved blade that fits your nails perfectly and cuts with a soft movement that puts less strain on your nails. Yes, this is the level of craftsmanship we are talking about!
