Stainless steel nail scissors, with the final grinding steps and the sharpening done by expert hands in Solingen, Germany. Micro-serration cutting edge for pinpoint control; use a glass file afterwards for a final polish. This is the nail scissor with the pointy, finer tip, the idea being that it can do a bit of cuticle-trimming work. Nippes is a real old school outfit, and if you put a premium on stainless-or-nothing(as most Americans do) the last best Solingen house of scissors and friends, in this opinion.
