Rubis Cuticle and nail scissors

A design classic. Practical all-purpose scissors for perfect nail care. Indispensable for well-manicured hands.

Use
The best time to cut your fingernails with the Rubis Classic is after showering or bathing, as your nails are then softer and easier to cut. The slightly curved, hand-sharpened blades crafted out of hardened steel cut your nails to perfection. They trim your nails neatly and smoothly without any sign of breaking, splitting or squeezing. The ergonomically shaped handle grips offer supreme comfort and stability. Even after many years, our scissors lose none of their original functionality thanks to their high-quality materials, design and workmanship.

Material
Our scissors are not simply stamped out of metal, they are elaborately turned pieces of martensitic steel. This high-quality material, which takes its name from German metallurgist Adolf Martens (1850-1914), has two special attributes that are indispensable to the manufacture of really good scissors: it can be hardened to a high degree, which has a major impact on the high quality and long life of the cutting blades, and it is easily molded, which is important for the perfect functionality and good design of the scissors. Martensitic steel is acid-proof and rust-resistant. By glass blasting the surface and elaborately grinding the cutting blades we successfully close the steels pores as far as technically possible and reduce corrosion susceptibility to a minimum. We deliberately avoid nickel or chrome plating our scissors to rule out any risk of allergic reactions.

Manufacture
Values are important to us. In our products and in the methods we use to produce them. We have been manufacturing in Switzerland for over 60 years. With experienced and skilled employees, many of whom have remained true to our company for years. Very much in the tradition of Swiss precision mechanics, we manufacture precise and elegant scissors, every detail of which is made to last. All of our manicure implements are made by hand - and, in a final step, tested individually under a magnifying glass. Only products that pass this test receive the Rubis. Made in Switzerland seal of quality.

Design
Simple, bold forms are the esthetic mark of all Rubis scissors embodying the concept of less is more. We patented their distinctive design under the Rubis Twist® trademark: each half of the scissors, crafted in half-round steel, twists 90 degrees from tip to handle. It is this organic movement of the steel that creates the scissors typical, elegant shape.
