Ok. Time to update the type of steel it is. MassDrop, please.
Here is the message I received directly from Seki.
"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."

BrainFlush Stainless steel grade 420J2 is inexpensive and highly corrosion resistant steel. It has good corrosion resistance in mild atmosphere as well as domestic and industrial environments. It is also resistant to dilute nitric acid, carbonic acid, ammonia, crude oil, detergent solutions, vinegar, food acids, several petroleum products, and steam. Stainless steel grade 420J2 is used in the following application areas:

Surgical instruments
Daggers and swords
Budget knives and diving knives
Haircutting scissors and domestic scissors
knowing this about the steel,i find it hard to part w/65 bucks for some clippers and stuff,as was stated above,the scissors are of pretty low quality,and i would really have to try the nippers,as they almost always break on me while maintaining my ingrown big toe nails

AmraI have the same 2 clippers from 3 years ago. Not a single sign of wear, both of them have endured extreme conditions. 120F weather, water, other people's stupid soda drinks, food, dirt, I even think blood at some point. Surprised no fecal matter, but who knows, definitely vomit aka pure bile. Anyways, still sharp as F and no sign of dulling, I use the little one to scrap away things from whatever and yet it's perfect..
Now as to the rest of the tools, originally, they were not of the same grade steel, I say this without full knowledge, but I did read they have changed everything to that same steel or at the very least, they are making them now. If needed, I can contact them again and ask.
TLDR The clippers are amazing, the rest is unknown to me not because I don't want them, just didn't need them.
