We are pretty sure you have some blunt nail clippers lying around. We all do. Whether by sheer laziness or sentimentality, we never bothered to chuck it out. Perhaps it may have been a very nice sharp nail mate once upon a time but through vigorous use, it has now turned so blunt it leaves your nails jaggard and uneven. It is the kind you have to press really hard to cut the nail through and every once in a while you may need to yank at it a little to break the nail. We are sure you know what we are talking about.
We dug one such blunt clipper out from the bottom of a drawer and thought to give it a second chance in life by putting the iSTOR Swiss Knife Sharpener to it. It seems such a waste of resources to chuck a good nail clipper away when all it needs is a good rub on some top grade diamond hard composite steel.
This time around we sharpened the Nail Clipper whole without dismantling its parts. Because the iSTOR Swiss Knife Sharpener is so versatile and small, getting to the curved edge of the nail clipper was not a problem.
Due to the narrowness of the nail clipper and the shape of the cutter, a stone block or diamond block would not be able to accomodate its shape. But with iSTOR Swiss Sharpener, you will see that there is not problem trying to get to the Nail Clipper's edge.
By following the angle of the cutter in light sweeping strokes along its curve, we were able to restore its sharp edge.
It only took us a few minutes over a TV programme to get the nail clipper back to its original razor sharp shape. And all this without any pressure, water or oil.
Next round we will try sharpening another clipper by dismantling it into 3-parts.
