4-Piece Manicure Set, Solingen

A complete manicure and pedicure set in one case — everything for grooming at home without buying instruments one at a time.

Made in Solingen, Germany. The name is protected by law: only instruments actually manufactured there may carry it. Each piece is sharpened by hand — on thick nails that is the difference you feel, because a machine-ground edge crushes before it cuts.

Rinse after use and dry before putting it away. Stored dry in its case, an instrument like this stays sharp for years rather than months.

Worth keeping in mind as a gift. Presented in its leather case it needs no wrapping to look like a proper present, and it works for any occasion — a birthday, a holiday, a graduation, or the person who already owns everything.

• 4 instruments for manicure and pedicure
• Made in Solingen, Germany
• Sharpened and checked by hand

Photography is illustrative. Finish, leather grain and set contents may vary from the images shown.

Dry the instrument after contact with water and return it to its case. Stainless steel resists corrosion but is not immune to it, and standing moisture dulls an edge faster than actual use.

The instrument can be sterilised. A forged edge holds its cut for years of regular use; when it finally softens, any competent sharpening workshop can reset it.

Orders placed before 2 pm EST ship the same business day. Shipping within the United States is $5.99, and free on orders over $100.

Thirty days to return an unused instrument in its original packaging.
