I bought a nice pair of fingernail clippers. ~$15 Green Bell from Japan. You hardly have to apply any force to the lever at all, and the nail just slices off neatly and falls inside. Not like my old cheapo pair that went "KACHONK" and endangered anyone in my vicinity of shrapnel injuries.

I have one of those Japanese nail clippers. I'm wondering how they make it cut so softly. Like even if it didn't eat the nails they wouldn't launch. Best clippers ever, even if it's harder to get the edges.

Pretty sure they're just incredibly sharp. The Japanese like to sharpen things.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm betting that it almost all comes down to sharpness and using better metal (harder, keeping it sharp)

I don't know man, the kachonk is a valuable part of the experience for me, great tactile feedback

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I guess I can see the appeal of that. But it's pretty fun feeling like a nail salon samurai, too.

Well Wet Bob, you made me laugh.
