Kai Europe Kershaw Universal Nail Clippers (Standard) PQ0503

Great quality, ergonomical, durable. Clean minimalist look. Slightly pricy but well worth it as it'll last you a lifetime.

Given the price of these clippers, I was reluctant to pay this much for "just nail clippers." But I have some Kershaw knives, which are well made, and Kershaw has a good reputation for making knives and similar products, so I thought I'd give them a try. When I first used them, my reaction was, "Wow! These cut so easily." The angle of the clippers is a little unusual at first, but the logic behind it is that--as opposed to cutting your finger nails--you are reaching down to cut toe nails, and so the angle of the head makes it easier to hold and use the clippers. It takes very little effort/pressure to cut the thickest nails. I think it is the combination of very sharp blades and the slightly longer handles provide greater leverage, making it easy to cut through the nails. The five stars is based solely on functionality. As good as they are, I still think these are overpriced (at $49.99 they'd still be outrageously expensive), so taking price into consideration, I'd go down to four stars. But I have to admit, pricey or not, I'm glad I bought them. (Note that previously I had Seki Edge clippers, which also were very sharp and worked well; but I like these even better.)

Ordered this to cut toenails. Opening so small your toenail will not go into it. It is very sharp & can be used on fingernails, if they are not thick.

got it for doing my toenails. it was very hard for me to reach my toenails and this nail clipper made it easy...

Awesome clippers but weird angle. I could not get used to the angle but they are super sharp and precise. I ended up returning them and buying a straight set of KAI clippers (that's who makes these for Kershaw).

I loved the handle design over traditional clippers; however, the blades are curved in the opposite shape of your nails (bowed out versus in like traditional clippers). It caused some really sharp pointed edges and would have required using a file every time. It also slowed me down over traditional clippers because the shape didn’t allow me to effectively align for the next cut either. If the blade was concave it would have easily been worth the money; however, for the cost and poor result I returned them in favor of a traditional design for a fraction of the cost.

Toe nails

Well worth the price of admission. I can trim my toenails with a bad back.

素晴らしい切れ味で申し分ありません。 大切に使いたいと思います。

Präzision in Perfektion made in Japan.

厚目の爪が良く切れます。刃の間がもう少しだけ開くともっと使いやすいかなと思います。

切れ味はさすがと思う。ただ歯の厚みが日本の一般品に比べてかなり厚い。結果として、 指先より短く切る、いわゆる深爪は絶対できないようです。もう少し短く切ろうとしてもなかなか出来ない。 これは良い点なのかも知れないが、私はちょっと不満を感じる。 通常の爪切りと比べて、ハンドルの角度が９０度違うが、これは慣れれば十分使いこなせる。

足用爪切りなのに両方の刃の幅が狭すぎて分厚い足の爪を片手で挟めない。パチパチと楽に切れないのが残念！足用爪切りとしては不良品だと思います。
