Seki Edge Nail Clippers (SS-106) - Stainless Steel Fingernail Clippers for Men & Women - Sharp Cutting Edges for Thick Nails - Professional & Home Use - Made in Japan

Pros: Very sharp. Cuts very cleanly. Seems well constructed to last a long while. The design gives it pretty good leverage for hard nails. This is the best and only one I've tried that cuts equal to or maybe even tops the old Gem brand clippers that I still have from the 70's. The Gem clippers still work great, but I needed a clipper for travel and those Gems are like heirlooms to me, heh.Con: (minor) - no built in file. I know many people use a dedicated nail file or emery board instead, but the the built-in was usually good enough for me. Not a big deal, though - in fact, the first time I used these, the clipping were so clean that I didn't have any rough edges that need filing.

Bought the Seki clippers (SS-106 for fingernails) and SS-107 for toenails) because of the overwhelming positive reviews. They work great! Probably most people don’t give much thought about fingernails and toenails clippers. But once you get these reasonably priced, extremely well made, easy to use (and nice looking, it’s funny even saying this) you’ll wonder why you put up with your old clippers for so many years.

It is very sharp. It makes nail cutting easy for yourself or if you are helping someone else.

This is the second seki that I own and I bought it because it was slightly smaller than the one I had before which seemed like it would be better for clipping my finger nails with. Overall, the quality is really great. I do wish that it had a small file on it like the other seki does, but this is not a deal breaker for me. It gives the user a nice clean cut with minimal jagged edges.

Been using it for 5 year and it's still really sharp. The only thing I've been careful was to never expose it to water.Came back to buy it again for family member and spare backup. Realize I forgot to write a review for this.

I got this more than 2 years ago and have been using it ever since. Is it perfect? Definitely not, but neither are clippers by any other brand, including hugely overpriced models which are "made in Solingen, Germany" or the ones with "creative" names like "Clyppi" (if anyone will be claiming otherwise - most likely they are paid shills for certain company, and unfortunately Amazon attracts many of these).Is it sharp? Yes, it is, at least mine was and still is, even after all that time of regular usage. If yours wasn't - you might have gotten a defective one, just return it for replacement. You also have an equal chance of getting a defective (or improperly sharpened) unit from ANY other brand, that's what the warranty is for.Is it comfortable enough to use? For me - yes, BUT the shape of your hands and fingers (and other stuff like thickness and hardness of your nails) is most likely different so it might not be for you. Not the fault of the clipper, just try out other models with different shapes, you might find the one that will fit YOU the best.Is it a 100% stainless steel? Well, no - for example the lever is made out of some aluminum alloy but that has no effect on its functionality or durability.Is it durable enough? Yes, it is - mine still works well, no breakages of any kind, no rust, no peeling of any surface parts (even the sticker is still there!), although I don't try to shower it every day (I prefer to clip nails while they're still "dry").Does it leave the edges of your nails somewhat "rough"? Yea, it does - like I mentioned before the clipper is VERY sharp straight from the factory so depending on your nail's composition and thickness it may leave the edges of your nails also somewhat "sharp" to the touch. Of course you can always use a nail file (not included with this clipper, you need to buy it separately) to smooth out your nails or let them be smoothed out "naturally" over some time. Personally I don't mind it because the benefit of the sharper jaws (you do not need to squeeze the lever as hard as on most other clippers) really outweighs this minor drawback.Is it worth its price? For me - yes, especially compared to the junky "no-name" clippers you can get at your local pharmacy or any store which sells grooming items and which usually require much more effort to operate then start to go dull or break after a year or less. For you - I don't know, just try them out yourself and decide.

It cuts very well. It isn't flimsy like the cheap ones made in China. It feels like a high quality tool.
