Seki Edge - Stainless Steel Fingernail

I've tried quite a few clippers from simple cheap ones that come in Christmas crackers to Tweezerman. I'll include some comparisons here. I tried some 'Solingen' ones from Amazon - they were rubbish and I expect were fake - certainly no where near the quality of steel in my other Solingen razors, scissors and nail files. Champneys from Boots were quite sharp, and kept their sharpness for a while. Seki are way sharper and easier to use. The Champney had a lot of give in the handle which meant they didn't always cut cleanly. Tweezerman were good, but lost their edge too quickly. Like the Champney clippers, the handle also had some bounce so the cut wasn't always perfect. Conclusion: The Seki Edge are super sharp, and there is no give in the handle meaning they cut very cleanly. The attention to detail on these clippers is excellent - for example the handle is riveted into the pin meaning they don't fall apart when you squeeze them. The Champney and Tweezerman really feel like better variations on the cheap Christmas cracker clippers, the Seki Edge are very different to that - high quality finish, better blade alignment, different metals used to avoid flex. They're not cheap, but they are definitely worth the extra.

And it was worth every penny. I have thick nails. For years I used cheap clippers bought in a chemist or supermarket. I never gave them much thought. Then these were recommended to me. I almost fell over at the price but persuaded by the reviews and also my frustration at having hacked off nails from cheap clippers l bought these. They are excellent. Razor sharp and high quality. They cut very very cleanly. No more hacked-off fingernails. They leave a neat and tidy job. I am very happy with them. They were expensive but high quality and will last years. 5 stars.

These are a superb product. I purchased these in 2020 (it's now 2025) and they are still as good as new and cut perfectly. I'm so glad I pushed the boat out to finally buy something of quality for this mundane task. Highly recommended, would buy again without hesitation.

They are very sharp and great for cutting nails, but rust started appearing after a month and they have been stored in a dry drawer outside of bathroom, so not sure if they are stainless steel...

I did some research on the internet prior to purchase and, from most accounts, this was approved as one of the best nail clippers on the market. I had never used a nail clipper before - having been a user of scissors and file. It's a small, handy nail clipper and well worth its ranking as the highest priced on the market. Easy to pop into handbag/pocket/makeup bag with the stylish "Seki" logo on the steel clip stick. Really does an excellent job - much better than scissors. I find it "seals" the nail too which seems to strengthen my very weak, easy to split, nails. The Japanese maker is the same one that manufactures Samurai swords and their attention to detail is concentrated into this handy clipper. Well worth the purchase.

These are really good quality clippers, but also a hefty price tag to go with it. The clippers are sharp, solid and robust - in fact much more than a pair of nail clippers need to be. However, I have another pair of Seki nail clippers that I prefer - it has a clipping catcher which allows me to cut my nails anywhere and empty it after. This nail clipper has to be used above a bin... :)

Solid metal will last forever and cut well, on the small side for large mens nails, would purchase the larger toe nail clipper version if i knew. Recommend buying if normal or small nails is what you want this great product for. Unlikely to be suitable size wise for toenails apart from the dinkiest toe nails.

Good. Nice and sharp. I have not used clippers before but found them easier to use than scissors after my wrist surgery on right hand!

Certes ce n'est assurément pas le coupe-ongles le moins du marché, mais c'est le meilleur que j'ai jamais eu. Il coupe très bien, et cela avec un minimum d'effort; de plus il est élégant et il a l'air solide, bref je suis pleinement satisfait par cet achat. Du made in Japan dans la plus pure tradition : qualité et efficacité. A l'heure de la course au moins cher, fabriqué dans le pays appelé l'usine du monde, certaines entreprises misent encore sur la QUALITE, même si celle-ci a un prix... Je conseille ce produit : l'essayer c'est l'adopter.

This is a very solid and very sharp nail clipper. It is made in Japan and while it costs more than something you would buy at Walmart, it works better than any nail clipper I have ever used. I was originally concerned that my hands might slip while using this (lack of a grippy surface) but these have an ergonomic grip which is not only comfortable but it doesn't slip. What makes them better than any other nail clipper I have used, is the amount of pressure it takes to use. A small amount of pressure ends up making a nice clean cut. They are very sharp. Finally, unlike the cheap, chrome coated nail clippers, this is actually stainless steel. The cheap ones end up getting chipped and sometimes the coating simply flakes off. If you are looking for a sharp and high quality nail clipper you will not have to replace anytime soon, spend the extra money. you will not be sorry you did.

Absolute quality, cuts with precision due to the very sharp clips. No cracking of the nails at all, just like cutting with scissors. The best nail cutter I have ever had. It's certainly not small or big, a good size really. Definitely recommend to all.

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.
