Vg10 steel?

it-manSounds like that is the level of quality being implied, but because it is not explicitly stated (many, many times), I doubt that it is VG10. And for this reason, I'm out.

astampExactly my thoughts. I seem to be always asking exactly what metal and what watch movement, and most of the time no response.

it-manNo but guess who did some leg work?
*I don’t know which particular nail clippers the customer is willing to know, so I am telling in case of SS-106 and SS-107. The blade is made with stainless steel, called SUS 420J2. The handle is made with zinc alloy die-cast and chrome plated

astampOh geez. It's nail Clippers, not a knife. You wouldn't be able to tell a difference between the grades of stainless steel in nail clippers anyways. As long as they're stainless steel, and work great, they'll be just fine. If someone told you that it's VG-10, you'd not be able to distinguish.

DrewDelI get it man, but these are not just your $2 at the checkout line clippers. These things cost $63!!! Id bet Largemouth bass eggs are not far off from fine caviar - but if you pay for the best and can barely tell the difference, don't you still want it to be the best?

it-man This thread is a trip. @DrewDel is the only sane person here.
A) You're paying for an entire grooming kit, not just a pair of nail clippers. B) You're clipping nails, not chopping down redwoods. You don't need clippers made of MaxElmaVG154CrS90VOMGWonderSteel to do that. The "what steel is this?" craze has reached "how many IBUs is my IPA?" neckbeard levels. C) If you've ever used a pair of Seki Edge clippers, you'll know why they cost what they do. They outperform standard nail clippers to such a degree that it's revelatory. If the rest of the tools in the kit are of similar quality, then $65 is not excessive for something you'll use to take care of yourself for many, many years to come.
