Blanks punched from stainless steel for nail nippers

from design to nail nipper

As a manufacturer, our customers' individual requirements matter to us. Once the desired product has been drawn in detail, we build and adjust a model in 3D CAD software with the required dimensions: the length of the nipper, the cutting length of the blade and the choice between double and single spring.

You will find the finished models in our category Nail nippers.

From blank to finished product

We source our high-quality surgical steel with a low carbon content from several countries. In the next step, blanks for nail nippers, cuticle nippers and corner nippers are punched from the stainless raw steel and then processed further.

Handwork through to the perfect grind

To this day, our nippers are finished to the perfect cut by staff with many years of experience in skilled craftsmanship.

Manual work step: the nipper is worked until the cut is perfect

Quality control

Every finished nipper from our production is checked by specialists for material fatigue or other defects. Each nipper also has to pass a so-called "stress test" of its cutting performance and is then packed individually in a case.
