Curved-Blade Nail Clippers

The nail clippers in the campus bookstore have a curved cutting edge that follows the natural shape of your fingernail. This seems like an obvious design choice until you realize that most standard clippers have a straight edge that forces you to make multiple cuts to shape each nail. Curved blade makes a single clean cut that matches the nail's contour, which reduces the splitting and rough edges that require filing afterward. Stainless steel with a matte finish, the body has a lever that opens smoothly without the stiff resistance that cheap clippers have. I bought them because my old pair broke and these were the only option at the bookstore, but the difference in cut quality was immediately noticeable. At $8, the price is more than a drugstore pair but less than most things I spend money on without thinking. They come in a small case that keeps them from scratching other things in my bag. The whole package feels like a product that someone actually thought about rather than just manufactured.
