Yoshida Yashiri Seisakusho nail file, boxed (matte silver)/Hickory Three Travelers
Hickory Three Travelers" has a store in Niigata City's Kamikomachi shopping district, where they select and develop products with a local connection.
Beautiful nail files are handmade one by one by Yasuri Yoshida.
The nail file is made of a thin stainless steel plate about 1 mm thick.
The nail file is made by hammering a steel plate called a "tagane" into the plate to make each blade of the nail file.
This process of setting up the blade is called "Me-Ze-Ge", and each nail file is worked one by one, relying on the eyes, ears, vibration of the file grinder, and the tactile sensation of the file's grain.
The intersection of the three stages of the grading process creates a point, which catches the fine fibers of the nail.
By allowing the nail to follow the file surface without escaping, the nail can be sharpened smoothly without strain. The file grain, which is evenly spaced and of the same depth, is the essence of a skill that only a skilled craftsman can achieve. It is beautiful to look at and comfortable to use.
We recommend using it instead of nail clippers for nail care, sports, musical instruments, and daily care.
The chic box makes it a perfect gift.
Made of all stainless steel, it can be washed in water and is easy to clean!
It is also a great gift for men.
