Cuticles

Explore SUWADA Japanese cuticle nippers and related tools for routine grooming around the nail. Cuticle nippers use short cutting edges for small amounts of clearly visible non-living cuticle material or loose dead skin; they are not tools for cutting the nail plate or living proximal nail fold.

For nippers, 3 mm favours small working sections, 5 mm covers a longer section per closure, and TOKI / Classic Limited use an intermediate ~3.5 mm edge. Spring systems and body designs also differ. Read the SUWADA cuticle nipper guide or use our nail tool selector.

For trimming the nail plate itself, use nail nippers or lever-style nail clippers rather than a cuticle nipper.
