KIRIHA – a knife-maker’s edge for the nails life makes harder [New]

Published September 1, 2026

Thick toenails. Ridged nails. A standard clipper meets them with a narrow mouth, catches one corner, and the nail splits instead of parting. KIRIHA opens wider and bites with a carbon-steel edge. Live on Kickstarter now. Newsletter Grooming · Everyday Tools NEW PROJECT KIRIHA Opens wider. Bites cleaner. SEE IT ON KICKSTARTER A wide-jaw nail clipper with a carbon-steel edge, from a Tokyo studio that starts from blades. It is built for the nails ordinary clippers give up on — thick, ridged, curved from years of hardening — and it takes them in one clean pass instead of three. WHY BACKERS LOVE IT 01 A jaw that opens wide A standard clipper meets a thick nail with a narrow mouth and catches one corner, so the nail splits instead of parting. The wide span takes the whole edge at once. 02 Carbon steel — the knife-maker’s choice The same reason chefs prize carbon-steel knives is the reason it is here: it takes a finer edge than the stainless most clippers use. It asks one thing in return — wipe it dry after use, the way you would a good knife. 03 64 g, 9.0 cm, matte black A curved sharpened edge in a sculpted matte-black body. Small enough to disappear into a drawer, heavy enough that your hand knows it is a tool, not a trinket. 04 Made by a studio that starts from blades Kiriha Studio designs precise everyday tools in Japan, bringing a blade-maker’s care to small daily rituals. KIRIHA is their first project on Kickstarter. SEE IT ON KICKSTARTER CURATED FOR YOU asia-products.com More from Asia CrowdFund Picks PICKS DRIFT Precision sharpness at 110 g.
