No clue, I suppose it’s not a lodge cast iron pan or something handed down from their grandparents.
I just felt it was worth posting because of their guarantee (and repairs).
I don’t go for manicures or pedicures, so this clipper eliminates the need for a nail file for me as well.
Idk how a post praising the company for standing by their guarantee became one about how everyone else only paid 5 bucks for theirs and apparently I’m showing off.
I’m leaving the post up because these are damn good clippers, despite the downvotes.

Lol if that’s your takeaway maybe you should talk to a professional.

I haven’t sent them back for sharpening - they do tend to lose their sharpness after a while. The Klhip stays sharp always. Again, the pin is the issue but mine is first generation - I am not sure how the newer models perform or if they have the same issue.

Have had tweezerman clippers - not BIFL for me.

Funny you mentioned it, I actually do have a Mason Pearson brush but if I lost it wouldn’t bother to replace it.

I have to say I did balk at the price initially too, but then I started using it and I would absolutely repurchase it if I lost it. I keep my nails very short so it’s really quite nice not having to file nails or getting hangnail with the Klhip.
As always ymmv but I love mine.

Prior to getting these I was having to change my clippers every two years or so - they got dull easily and hangnail was an issue after a while, since I keep my nails as short as possible due to longer nail beds.
Whether the price is justified or not is really up to the individual that purchases it. For me I like things that are beautiful and functional, and I feel that this is BIFL since I’ve had it a decade and was very surprised that they honoured their warranty.
I’ve had a dyson vacuum that was less than a year old with the felt coming loose under the roller head - not covered under their warranty.
I think it’s quite remarkable when companies stand by their products, which is why I made a post.
I didn’t claim it was cheap. I’m just saying after owning maybe 15 pairs of nail clippers over my life I’ve never had to buy another one.
Fwiw, I think they also had a price increase. When I purchased it, it cost around $50 iirc.

Lol at the downvotes. This is a brand that stands by their guarantee, which is why I bothered posting about it.
You can buy $5 nail clippers, no one is stopping you. These have stayed sharp for me, are ergonomically designed and have eliminated hangnail issues that I got from cheaper nail clippers that would invariably lose their sharpness over time.
Darn tough socks also get holes after lots of use, but they are another brand that stay by their guarantee to fix or replace.

Expensive for nail clippers but I’ve literally haven’t had to buy another one.
The main issue seems to be the pin malfunctioning after a few years, but Klhip has always stood by their product guarantee and repaired it when mailed in.
Always sharp. BIFL.

I’m really not sure, it has a front lever instead of back like the usual. When I had problems it was with the lever no longer having resistance. Nothing actually broke, no pieces came loose, so I’m guessing it might be a pin somewhere.
