Shpitser Solingen TopInox Stainless Steel German Hand Sharpened (Dark Drown)

A grooming set assembled so that the tools work together: what you reach for during a home manicure, in a case that keeps them in order.

Made in Solingen — the German town that has produced blades for six centuries and whose name is legally reserved for instruments finished there. The edge is put on by hand and checked before the piece leaves the workshop.

TopInox is a hardened German stainless steel: it takes a fine edge and keeps it without the rust risk of carbon steel. Rinse, dry, and it needs no other care.

The included case is genuine leather, with each instrument held in its own loop so the blades do not knock together in a drawer or a suitcase.

This is the kind of thing people are pleased to be given: useful every week, better made than what they would buy themselves, and ready to hand over in its case. Suits any occasion, from Christmas to a housewarming.

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. When the edge eventually softens after years of work, send it for resharpening rather than replacing it.
