Handmade, satin finish, with sharp blades that make a clean cut, without straining the nail. It has an elastomer resin handle, which helps grip it better and easier. It comes with a metal case for safe storage. "Soft" refers to its handles. It is a similar model to the Classic Nipper when it comes to the top part around the blades. The rest of the body however is very different. Made of high-carbon stainless steel, the same material used to fashion custom-made Japanese kitchen knives. These nippers are strong, rustproof, and easy to maintain. With brushed metal at the top and an easy-to-grab body, this model is perfect if you have dry hands or want to clip a nail more comfortably. Compared to the Soft Slim nail nipper, this Soft Nail Nipper has a thicker handle. This Soft Nail Nipper received an award in the international competition of "Good Design Awards", held yearly in Tokyo.
