Cuticle Shears Made of Carbon Steel

These scissors are made of carbon steel by the Solingen company Niegeloh. Carbon steel is not rustproof, so the instrument is coated with a high-gloss nickel layer for protection. Nevertheless, it is recommended to clean the cutting blades once briefly with your thumb after use.

The Solingen firm of Niegeloh manufactures shears as well as nail clippers from carbon steel.
Since carbon steel is not rust-free, it is furnished with a protective high gloss nickel coating. Wiping clean the blades with the thumb after use also helps.

When it comes to manicure instruments, you have the choice between instruments made of stainless steel and carbon steel. The rule is: Carbon steel can be hardened higher than stainless steel, and its finishing process results in an even sharper cutting edge. Stainless steel, in turn, is rust-proof, and the two types of steel differ in price. All our manicure instruments are made in Solingen, known as the knife city. We source the stainless steel instruments from the manufacturers Dreiturm and Pfeilring; Niegeloh supplies us with products made of carbon steel. We supplement the instruments most people find essential with valuable accessories and offer them assorted in manicure cases.
