3 Swords Germany - brand quality STAINLESS STEEL INOX CURVED COMBINED CUTICLE & NAIL SCISSORS (1 PIECE) with case for manicure pedicure - nail care by 3 Swords - Made in Germany

I thought my brookstone cuticle scissors were the best until I received this ones from Germany. Very high quality

I don't like the standard model of nail clippers because I can't control what I am trimming as accurately as I can with these scissors, which I suppose are technically for the cuticle (not what I use them for). So, if you're someone who has thin to average nail hardness/thickness, these work great on hands and feet, and obviously for the stray hangnail that pops up. I think it could even work for thicker nails--they're quite sturdy and strong. Considering the fact that some of the models i was looking at had a huge price tag on them, I'm happy i found these at such a great medium price.

Excellent instrument, accurately and carefully crafted. It works as well on cuticles as on hard toenails in difficult angles. The scissors came with the handles coated in a dark grey high-tech ceramic composite (think top non-stick cookware). Comparing it with a similar pair with brushed handles (identical design, also made in Solingen, Germany), is immediately apparent that the coating provides fingers with an increased and uniform grip on all surfaces - including the finger holes - which converts into a significantly better control of the tool. Interestingly enough, the grip is virtually the same whether in dry conditions or under running water. As with any precision cutting instrument - clean it when needed only with hot water (no detergent), dry it as soon as you are done, and oil its blades very lightly once in a while. My other pair still runs acceptably after more than ten years, with one gentle sharpening or maybe two, and a minor pivot adjustment. Both worth every penny.

In the past I purchased Hoffritz. These were equally as sturdy and sharp. I recommend these.

My second pair, still have first pair after a few years. Good quality, come in a nice little case. Don't buy some cheap product thinking you'll get a deal. Go for the quality of this pair of scissors.

It is suitable for the price, but I should have paid a few dollars more and gotten better quality scissors

After throwing several cuticle scissors in the trash because they inevitable become dull or the screw loosens and the blades do not close correctly, I decided to spend a little more for quality. I am not disappointed. These scissors are study and excellent cutters. And the price only about 50% more than the cheap ones. I highly recommend.

These are made in Germany and are very well made.
