may be german made but not of german quality [SEP] these two solingen nail clippers were supposedly made in germany according to its insert however their qualities imho are not that of the usual germany quality there are some design flaws with both clippers though they are sharp enough to cut through paper yet due to the angle of their blades top and bottom they had troubles cutting through nails probably the angels of the two blades not curvy enough in short these clippers were no better than those that were made in china therefore no point again imho to spend so much money on two non functional clippers well i am still trying to find the perfect nail clippers if there are such things
