Benefits

High-carbon stainless steel for a lasting cut: The file is made of high-carbon stainless steel, SUS420J2, a hard steel that keeps its cut pattern for a long time. It is slim at 1 mm thick and 13 mm wide, so it reaches the edge of each nail easily and fits a small hand well.

A curve that keeps the file's cut: The maker says the curve is added while keeping the file's cut pattern, a technique that only this workshop uses. The curve follows the shape of the nail edge, so you can smooth the corners and the tip in a few strokes without turning your wrist awkwardly.

A fine grit that is made for finishing: The grit is fine, which makes the file suited to shaping and smoothing after cutting with clippers. One wearer notes that it cuts deeper than a glass file, so use light pressure, and draw it in one direction to avoid splitting the nail tip.

Slim, light and easy to carry: The file is 138 mm long and weighs about 9 g, and the packed size with its case is 13.8 x 13.8 x 1.3 cm. It fits in a pouch or a manicure kit, and the PVC case protects the file and keeps the teeth from catching on other items.

Made by a Tsubame file maker: This file is made in Tsubame, Niigata, by a workshop that has made files since 1939. The maker's page describes a veteran craftsman who sharpens the file's teeth, and we ship it directly from Japan with its case.

A mocha gold finish with a K mark: The mocha gold version has a gold K logo at the rounded tip and a matching case. The model number is KY-20GM, and the file is designed for nails, so please do not use it on other materials, which could dull the fine teeth.

Who Is This For

The Edge Finisher: You want a tidy, smooth nail edge without effort, but a rough edge catches on fabric and a poor file leaves your nails split. Searching for the right curved nail file is tiring, and it is not your fault that it is hard to choose. Our curved nail file gives you a curved steel blade, a fine grit and a protective case. It is made in Japan by a file maker in Tsubame, and it comes in a PVC case, so one file can steady your daily routine.

Product Story

The workshop developed its nail file from its industrial file skills, and the maker says the curve keeps the cut pattern, which is its own technique. The file is made of high-carbon stainless steel, comes in a PVC case, and is shipped directly from Japan.
