Product description
Description
This tower point jaw FINOX cuticle nipper by GERmanikure blends innovative design with modern high carbon stainless steel to make a cuticle nipper that will last. It is hand sharpened to a 5mm precise edge and has several design features to extend its life and reduce the frequency of resharpenings needed. The nearly frictionless beveled joint the crush stoppers open design and extra hard steel all add up to a tool that is definitely not your ordinary cuticle nipper.
High Carbon Stainless Steel
Raw high carbon stainless steel (surgical steel) is imported in bulk from Sweden specifically for use in GERmanikure's FINOX line no other steel met GERmanikure's requirements for consistency hardness and durability. This rustproof steel is much harder than other types which mean the blade edges stay sharp longer.
Three Jaw Shapes
The GERmanikure Pro line has three shapes to choose from: standard tapered and tower point. Each tip is designed for a specific purpose. Choose the standard jaw shape for a less aggressive point and more forgiving blade angle that is well suited to a majority of nail shapes. Choose the tapered jaw shape for a more aggressive cut and a steeper angle on the cutting edge. Tapered will more easily fit smaller narrower hard to reach areas. Choose the tower point jaw shape for the most narrow blade and thinnest tip to reach areas that are impossible to reach otherwise.
Three Jaw Lengths
Each jaw shape is available in three different jaw lengths: 3 5 and 7mm. 5mm is industry standard and if you don't know what to get this is a size well suited for a variety of nails and nail beds. The smaller 3mm jaw is good to keep on hand for occasional use on smaller hands or in tighter areas where the nail bed bends steeply into the flesh. 7mm jaw lengths have added length that means it lasts through more full resharpenings so it has a nice long usable life without being unwieldy to use. This jaw length lasts the longest because the added material allows more full resharpenings than other lengths but it can sometimes be difficult to use on small fingers or tiny toes.
Cutting not pinching
Hold this cuticle nipper up to the light without squeezing and you'll see a very fine gap between the blades. This is not a defect. Every GERmanikure nipper is sharpened manually with a file (not a grinder) by Solingen artisans specifically to have a hairsbreadth gap between the blades. As pressure is gently applied this gap disappears and it is this gap-closing action that allows the tool to cut the cuticle tissue cleanly from one side to the other not pinch and tear.
Crush Stopper
Over crush is unavoidable on most cuticle nippers. The sharpened edges on other cuticle nippers dull themselves simply by pressing firmly against each other with each cut. The crush-stopper handles of the GERmanikure cuticle nipper only permit the cuticle nipper to close just far enough to cut cuticle tissue and no farther. Now your blades will stay sharper longer.
Open Design
The open joint style minimizes crevices where bacteria and debris may accumulate over time. This type of joint also allows access for easy cleaning and lubrication which helps make professional sterilization practices such as a high heat or steam autoclave more efficient.
Beveled Joint
Open these nippers even a little and it is easy to see a beveled "platform" area around the joint. This special beveled area reduces the frictionable surface area of the joint so that wear and tear is minimal. When combined with a frictionless double spring the movement is super smooth and will stay that way for years.
Protective Case
Even though this innovative cuticle nipper is crafted of the finest modern materials and designed to last for decades it comes complete with a custom fitted leather case to protect it even further. Leather is naturally cushioning and dehumidifying. The case will prevent damage to the cutting edges when the nipper is not in use as well as help wick away any condensation that may accumulate on the cool steel.
GERmanikure believes in long tool life healthful living and good environmental stewardship. Each tool is handcrafted in Solingen Germany by trained adult artisans in a factory that recycles leftover production waste and filters its wastewater. This item is guaranteed free from unethical workmanship such as forced labor or child labor.

Very Nice.
"Beautiful and professional! AND they work!!!"
Sharp and perfectly shaped
"I was a professional hair, skin, and nails stylist for over a decade. I had to let it go as my hand tremors made it too difficult to work professionally. Sadly, my ETs (Essential Tremors) are now to the point where I have to do a two fist grip on a mascara wand to avoid poking myself in the eye!My old nippers were not well shaped to allow me to gently “bite” into trimming a cuticle without some part of the nippers biting where I didn’t want them to. These are the PERFECT shape to be able to press into the desired spot on the cuticle without either the front tip or the back edge grabbing some unintended part of the skin and drawing blood!These are perfect for me and I highly recommend them to anyone - professional or novice."
INMEJORABLE, LO RECOMIEND 100%
"EXCELENTE CALIDAD!!"
Awesome purchase
"Awesome product, well worth the money!!!!!"
Sharp + easy to use!
"Literally best cuticle nippers I’ve owned! Super sharp and precise. Love the extended top for precision."
Well made, high quality product!
"Far and away the best nippers I've owned. The tips are very fine and sharp. The case that comes with them is small, but nicely made and helps protect them."
Expensive but worth it
"I'm not normally one to write a product review, but these cuticle nippers are the tits. Went through many different brands and sizes trying to replace a favorite pair that broke after countless uses and is no longer available. Is $40 a lot to spend for a tool as this, sure. Do you get a precision nipper that is super sharp, easy to handle, gets in all the tight angles to get those stubborn hangnails? Yes, absolutely. If you are a hangnail picker like me do yourself a favor and buy these. I recommend the 5mm jaw with the tower point for the most precise cutting."
AMAZING SET
"Girlfriend Called me insane for spending so much on these. They're our go to nippers now."
Trying to save money only lead to disappointment. Not all stainless steel are made equally
"Cannot be the quality of this stainless steel product. I purchase multiple items from this maker. Trying to save money only lead to disappointment. Not all stainless steel are made equally."
