Description
Contour-style satin stainless steel cuticle nippers. The Dovo 10900-0426 cutting edge is extremely sharp. Solingen master grinders hand-hone the cutting edge. This nipper comes with double springs. Additionally using a slightly contoured or beveled shank provides a more comfortable grip.
The box joint gives more stability to the cutting edges. Finally the edges are directly opposite each other. Equally important, milling one blade in the shape of a box prevents sideways movement. Then inserting the other blade into and through the box holds the edges in alignment. However, a box joint is more expensive than a lap joint. Laying one blade on top of the other blade creates a lap joint. A lap joint is similar to scissors. It is much better for these small and delicate cuticle nippers to have a box joint, because a lap joint can loosen up much more quickly and the cutting edges will lose their alignment.
As in all high-quality nippers, the cutting edges of this Dovo 10900-0526 Cuticle Nippers Contour-Style nipper first meet at the very tip, leaving a wedge-like gap between the edges. Applying stronger pressure causes the edges to close and cut in a rocking fashion like a knife on a cutting board.
