Green Bell G-1008 Nail Clipper (Takumi No Waza)

The Green Bell G-1008 Nail Clipper is simply outstanding. The craftsmanship is second to none, with sharp, precise blades that cut through nails effortlessly without splitting or cracking. The ergonomic design feels comfortable in the hand, and the stainless steel finish is both durable and attractive. It even comes with a handy nail file that works like a charm. This clipper has elevated my grooming routine to a professional level. It’s more expensive than regular clippers, but the quality justifies the price. Highly recommend this for anyone who appreciates fine tools that last!

Pricy but worth it. Size slightly bigger than one I used for almost 15 years so took a minute to get used too. I wish I found this earlier. Very sharp. My hands don't cramp when cutting fingernails. Sturdy Japanese quality.

I wanted to wait a few years before writing a review of these nail clippers because most nail clippers seem like they are working well at first. These have definitely stood the test of time in my opinion. These nail clippers started out great and are great now. Sharp and smooth in operation, they easily clip through any of my nails. They may have ever so slightly dulled since their first use but the fact that I can't be certain has got to be a positive. They've never accidentally come apart. The built-in nail file works well. Should they ever cease to operate well I'll try to remember to update my review just to a give a sense of how long they've lasted.

I've spent decades struggling with checkout aisle nail clippers that often would not even clip my nails when forced with all of my might--often the nail would just bend rather than cut, and I would have to nibble away at it. I felt a little silly typing "best nail clippers" into my browser, and when multiple articles named this clipper as the best I felt even sillier spending $20 on it. But it was a wise decision, and the online articles were completely right. Almost all checkout aisle clippers are just stamped out pieces of metal. These Green Bell clippers are forged, machined, and sharpened like a quality surgical instrument. When you clip a nail, you literally have to just move the handle, there is virtually no effort involved. And the cut is super clean, no jagged edges. If I had any complaint, and it's very minor, it's a little clumsy to open the clipper because of the rounded edge of the handle. But this tool still gets my five star recommendation....

These clippers totally impressed me. The grip is comfortable, the cutting area is nice and sharp, the design is really attractive with a built in file on the handle and they work flawlessly without exerting much pressure. These clippers are quality and I plan to buy more for my travel kit (and maybe another for the car). You won't be sorry with these clippers.

The thin nail file on the handle is genius. I only need to file the tips on my nails so it’s a really great design. Great blades, great spring!It is rather heavy but that makes them easier to operate. I just can’t justify carrying it with me due to the weight.Still, they are the best nail clippers I’ve ever owned. Having nail clippers with a file is important to me since I play finger style guitar. It’s just too heavy to justify adding to my guitar case or gigging backpack.If you want two good reasons to spend the money on this over the extremely popular Revlon model, check out my review on the Revlon nail-clippers.Would have given five stars if not for the weight. If you use it at home, that will be a non-issue. You’ll probably appreciate it, in fact.

Just perfectly slices nails. Fingers and toes alike. Wet nails not required (but always encouraged).Notice how I said slice? It doesn’t clip and the nail shatters and splits and you have to do a bunch of micro trims or use a nail file. It just… SLICES!Other nail clippers absolutely SUCK compared to this thing. I’ve been buying a new one seemingly every other year and they just always end up being horrible. I started to believe that it was just genuinely hard for nail clippers to cut well, wet or dry. DON’T be fooled. Do NOT settle for less. Get this thing! I don’t even know how I stumbled upon this but I’m so glad I did.The ONLY downside I can think of, is that it doesn’t come with a nail file. That would be kinda sad, if I ever ONCE needed to use a file after using this!Edit: How WRONG I was. Three months after using it, I realize it DOES HAVE A NAIL FILE!!! OMG I thought it was just part of the design!! PERFECTION.
