How to recognise good manicure instruments?

Woran erkennt man gute Instrumente?

Quality and material

All manicure instruments are especially formed and processed for their intended use. Only then can they fulfil their specific purpose. Hallmarks of precisely manufactured instruments are the top-quality material and neat surface treatment.

Material

Good manicure instruments such as cleaners, nail scrapers, nail and corn knives are manufactured from the highest quality steel. ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS exclusively uses stainless steel for the working parts of its instruments.

Finish

The instruments have a smoothly ground, polished or brushed surface. The blades are sharply ground. All plastic handles are smooth without seams for comfortable work.

Nail and cuticle scissors

The points must fit well when closed. Cutting ability right up to the point is essential. The blades must have an even, light and easy closing action.

Nail and cuticle nippers

The cutting edges of quality nippers must join up exactly. They first meet at the point and clip the nail or skin away when further pressed together.
