As the "Hermès of nail clippers", Suwada has never relied on the reputation of Seki, the "sword city", but has made a fortune and established itself in Sanjo City in Niigata Prefecture with a difference. Since its establishment in 1926, even if a company has been established in Hong Kong or London, each of Suwada's nail clippers is still made by 40 craftsmen in Sanjo City. Each pair of nail clippers goes through at least 50 processes and takes 3 months to create, making them a work of art.
 
In the 70s, Suwada mainly made potted shears, and later produced kitchen utensils such as chestnut peeling scissors, and won the "Best Design Award" from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for its chestnut peeling shears and nail clippers. Between 1998 and 2017, Suwada nail clippers won the Good Design Award at the Good Design Awards six times, the only design award in Japan and the highest honor in the design industry. In 2017, the CLASSIC series of nail clippers added the East Japan Railway Specialty Award Gold Medal in the Crafts category to the CLASSIC series of nail clippers, which has won a number of accolades. In addition, Suwada is also very well-known in Europe and the United States, and has won the Asian Design Award twice, and is recognized as the top nail clipper brand in the world.
 
Suva mainly produces pliers and scissors nail clippers, including CLASSIC, MIRROR, SOFT, gift box series, etc., all of which are made of stainless steel except for SOFT. Suwada nail clippers are characterized by a strong cutting force, and although they are made of stainless steel, they are as crisp as carbon steel scissors. There are two types of nail clippers, straight and curved, and the gap between the two edges is controlled at the millimeter level, which is still very smooth when closed. Although it looks like a vice, the actual feeling of use is very delicate: you can clearly feel the two different elastic parts, the edges of the nails after cutting are smooth, and there is no need for a file at all, and the cut nails are left on the inside of the blade, without the need for additional auxiliary collection tools, killing three birds with one stone.
 
The unique black model of the Suva CLASSIC series nail clippers is also born for a unique reason: black is to prevent eye fatigue caused by strong light reflection, which also reflects the brand's meticulous design, priced at 1180 yuan. SOFT won the Good Design Design Award in 2002, and on the basis of CLASSIC, the handle part was changed to rubber resin material to prevent sweat and slip, which is more suitable for the elderly, and the price is 998 yuan. MIRROR is Suva's top series, the surface is very bright but easy to leave fingerprints, the price has always been more than 17,000 yen (about 1,100 yuan), and the official website may not be in stock, the purchase channel is generally e-commerce overseas shopping or purchasing.
 
Suwada's official website states that its stainless steel material is relatively easy to rust, and it is recommended to buy it with anti-rust oil. However, even if there is a problem with the nail clippers, the brand can provide a lifetime warranty. If I had to recommend only one luxury trimming tool for your fingertips, it would be Suwada.
