STALEKS CLASSIC 12 Cuticle Nippers — 5 mm Cutting Edge

Please note: the manufacturer has updated the design of this model. It is now produced with a double-leaf spring instead of a single spring.

The STALEKS CLASSIC 12 NC-12-5 cuticle nippers are engineered for trimming cuticle and hardened skin during classic cut and combination manicure and pedicure. Hand-sharpened with a radiused blade profile, they deliver precise, clean cuts with no jagged edges or hangnails left behind. Designed for home use.

The NC-12-5 features 5 mm cutting edges with a moderate blade angle. Each edge is sharpened under magnification on diamond wheels, producing a smooth, even cut every time — no nicks, no snags. The sharpness holds up through many sessions without dulling. The low "heel" design makes these nippers especially effective on thin to normal skin.

The straight, shortened handles are easy to grip — they sit naturally between the fingers and the palm, offering excellent manoeuvrability with minimal weight. A great fit for smaller hands.

The dual-plate spring is both strong and durable, providing soft, controlled closing action that lets you regulate cutting pressure with precision. The hinge operates smoothly, distributing force evenly between both handles. Made from high-alloy medical-grade steel, these nippers resist deformation and wear, maintaining their edge and performance over extended use.
