Takumi No Waza 2-piece Grooming Kit (G-3101)

Completely orgasmic. For things that matter I ALWAYS look for Japanese products, no matter what the cost... Everyone in the USA struggles with those cheap drug-store clippers.. dull blades... fingers hurt from pressing down so hard, and that JOKE of a 'file' that is more suited for auto mechnics.Heres the deal:1) REAL stainless-steel - not zinc or fake chrome2) SHARP BLADES - if you never thought about being 'cautious' with nail clippers, you will with these! Its like playing with the butchers knives -- the REAL DEAL... handle with common-sense...3) FILE IS BIBLICAL - this is a REAL nail file! Not that jagged mess on your 'typical' Chinamerican clippers. In fact the file deverves its ow subheading: a) unbelievably EFFORTLESS to file your nails... just BARLEY strike your nails and INSTANTLY they are smooth as butter b) Super-fine abrasive... you cant even see the 'file' reliefs, but BOY does it work... c) UN-FRICKING-BELIEVABLE!4) The CASE. This case ain't junk. This is a REAL case with a REAL YKK zipper. And there is an extra pouch for your extra's...CONS:1) No 'dirt-digger' on the clipper like on Chinamerican clippers. BUT there is a pocket in the case for your accessories...If you are SICK of cheap Chinamerican throwaway, expendable, disposable, Cracker-Jack-Box, GARBAGE, spend the debt-notes for this FINE Japanese work of art...after you do you will be searching this company's inventory to see what else they make BETTER than the U.S.A.s 4th-world standards...ENJOY!

After three years, I'm still impressed with the heft, the quality, and the sharpness of these tools. I got a nice leather zipper bag with the toenail clipper and the fingernail clipper. There's a slot for the a file in the cover, but no file. I'm not really missing the file, so that's not a deal breaker. There's no file built into either of the clippers.They do an excellent job of cutting both finger and toe nails. The edges are sharp, the levers are strong, and you don't need to press hard to make the cut. The design is well-made and attractive.I'm a guy who's spent his time around tools, and using these is like buying a high quality tool. I'll never need to buy another set, for the rest of my life. It's worth it to me.

Alas, the curved edge large clipper is not available except in this two piece grooming kit. IMHO, the kit is worth buying for that piece alone. When I initially ordered the kit, I thought that while the leather case is nice, I could live without it. However, it has proved to be unexpectedly useful. It's a great home for these two grooming tools, encouraging my husband to return them on the occasions he uses the larger clipper.The smaller clipper does not have a curved edge, and its cutting edge is shorter than most. For some reason, it's straight. While it comes in handy at times, I prefer the larger clipper.FYI, both Seki Edge and Greenbell/Green Bell are manufactured in Japan by the same Japanese entity. My experience over a period of more than 20 years is that they make excellent products which, though expensive, are well made and wear well.

Awesome quality and a very nice case. This was right in my price range and I read a lot of reviews. I really think these will last a long time. Note the small file Seki sells will also fit in the case. There is a little pocket on the top and it fits on an angle so you can keep it in there. I'm very happy with this purchase. Oh and they cut nails with ease!

These are really good tools. Better ergonomics and sharper than my Solingen or Brookstone cutters. Not cheap but they should last a long time and come with a very nice case. Great for a gift - I bought two because they tend to end up in other peoples kits. I would recommend without reservation.

I bought the Seki Edge Takumi No Waza 2-piece Grooming Kit (G-3101) ($40.41) for use at home and Harperton Nail Clipper Set - Fingernail + Toenail - Stainless Steel ($18.84) to put in my travel kit, so one is basically half the price of the other. The Seki doesn't have the nail file, but the Harperton file is a pretty small patch - it would work in a pinch, but I prefer to use a dedicated nail file. As you can see in the photos, the Harperton clippers are significantly smaller than the Seki, but the gauge of the steel appears to be comprable and I haven't felt that the differences in length affect their function. Both are very sharp - enough so that if you are not careful, it will cut through your skin effortlessly - I felt some resistance when the cheap sets that I had used previously met the tougher skin around the nails. I wouldn't say that can notice that one set is sharper than the other, though.

I considered this item for a long time. It is expensive. And I wondered if it was worth it. Compared to other clippers this would be considered a luxury item in terms of price. But if there was one thing about the reviews that attracted me to the item was that reviewer after reviewer said the clippers were sharp. And yes they are! Your nails feel like knives after you cut them. These clippers just seem to melt through my finger and toenails so much so that attention needs to be paid.One complaint I have to agree with is that one reviewer said that for the price there should be a collector on each. That would be nice because when you cut with these the nail parts go flying.But other than that these clippers are perfect and obviously made to last multiple lifetimes. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

These clippers are certainly well made and nice and sharp they cut really well no jagged nails I just wonder about the price tag which is high not sure if there craftsmanship matches the high price, saying that they are something to treasure you would be daft not to at a high cost. the only negatives was I found the smaller finger nail clipper to be a little too small and the delivery time a little long all in all a nice quality product.

The quality and functionality of these clippers is unmatched.They cut like a hot knife goes thru butter, unreal.This is an absolute high end product, the price is right for the quality.

Sharp and doesn’t leave a burr. Beautiful. Looking for this for a long time

High quality product, had it for months now, work flolesly.
