Description
- Town of blade Made in Seki City, Gifu Prefecturein , Sharp and efficient nail clippers.
- Seki City in Gifu Prefecture is not only one of Japan's three major blade producing areas, but also one of the world's three major blade producing areas, along with Germany and the United Kingdom, and is attracting attention as a blade producing area that stands shoulder to shoulder with them.
- These nail clippers were crafted by craftsmen who have inherited their skills since the company's establishment in 1943 in this area.
- These nail clippers are made of special carburized steel, which is subjected to a special carburizing heat treatment, rather than Steel (Hagane) which naturally has a low carbon content.
- The nail clippers are designed with a lever type that provides high stability during use, and are simple and easy to use for children and adults alike, with a standard design that can be used for a long time.
When carburizing heat treatment is performed, the surface becomes hard and tough, and wear resistance increases, while the interior of the material remains flexible. Therefore, it is the ideal heat treatment for products that require sharpness like nail clippers, but also require bending. In addition to this heat treatment, the craftsmen in Seki refine their skills to carefully finish each product one by one.
