SHARP--WORKS GREAT FOR INGROWN TOENAILS! [SEP] These are SUPER sharp.  I have used this kind of clippers for over a decade.  When I first opened these, I felt like they were so sharp that I could do some serious damage.  Either I'm used to them now, or they have dulled just a tiny bit, but they are wonderful.  TEN TIMES better than anything I have ever bought from a store.  I have really bad ingrown toenails in one of my big toes, but I have removed both of them with these.  What relief!!  Be sure to keep the little plastic tip-protector that comes with it.  It protects the tip of the blades when they are stuck in a drawer.  It also prevents you from getting poked with it accidentally.
